PREFACE.
THE compiler of this work has for more than thirty years
given much time to gathering Babcock family records,
with at first no expectation of including more than the
records of the descendants of his grandfathers, both of whom
were Babcocks, though remotely related. As the work grew
the idea of publishing developed, and for the past four years
the most of his otherwise leisure time has been given to it.
The work begins with James Badcock (Babcock), who set-
tled in Portsmouth, R. I., in 1642, in Westerly, R. I., 1662, and
died there June 12, 1679. It includes records of about two
thousand families, which can be traced with certainty to the
James Babcock referred to above. Some of these are of the
eleventh generation of Babcocks in America.
Records for this book have been collected from Westerly
and other town records and from scores of published works,
among the most valuable of which are : Colonial Records of
Rhode Island and Connecticut. Arnold's Vital Records of
Rhode Island. Wheeler's History of Stonington, Smith's Civil
and Military Lists of Rhode Island, Town Meeting Records
of Portsmouth, R. I., Ancient Landmarks of Plymouth, and
History of the Town of Plymouth, the last two by William T.
Davis. ]\Iuch the larger part have l^een gathered from family
records never before published.
The author has been assisted in this work by many, among
whom should be mentioned Col. A. J. Babcock, of Springfield,
111., who for more than twenty years has been an enthusiastic
collector of Babcock genealogy. He loaned the author all of
his Babcock records, which included several hundred pages
of manuscript, and has written, perhaps, hundreds of letters
to the author and others in his efforts to make this volume a
full and accurate genealogical record.
Mr. A. Emerson Babcock, of Brighton, N. Y., has spent
much time, effort, and money in collecting records of the de-
scendants of his progenitor, Isaiah Babcock, Sr., of the fifth
vi Preface.
generation. His records are included in this book, and are
published as prepared by him in the last part of the volume.
Mr. Edwin Babcock, of Westerly, R. I., has for a genera-
tion been collecting Babcock family records, and is considered
authority on Babcock genealogy. By his kind permission the
author has had free access to his records.
Space forbids mentioning by name the hundreds who have
given records of one or several families, but the author wishes
to especially thank the following, who have given much help
in collecting genealogical records: Rev. Charles H. Babcock,
D.D., Providence, R. I.; Mr. William P. Abbott, St, Paul,
Minn. ; Hon. Henry L. Green, Riverpoint, R. I. ; the late Hon.

THE COAT OF ARMS AND THE FAMILY ORIGIN.
By Rev. Charles Henry Babcock, D.D.
THE Babcock Coat of Arms, which is used as the fron-
tispiece of this book, is from the Dictionary of
American Family Antiquity. It is described in the
language of Heraldry thus: He beareth Argent; three
pale cocks on a Fesse cotised, gules. Crest, a cock's head.
Motto, "Dens spcs mea." Defined,* for the benefit of those
unversed in Heraldry, the meaning of these queer terms is as
follows: Argent means silver, sometimes represented by
white, Fesse cotised means a broad band crossing the shield
horizontally in the middle between two narrow bands parallel '
to, and near, the Fesse. The Fesse is emblematic of the mili-
tary girdle worn round the body over the armor. Gules means
red. The crest is placed on the top of, or above, the shield,
and the motto, or legend, is usually below it. Hence, ex-
pressed in ordinary English, our coat of arms relates that
The Babcock bears a white, or silver, shield with three pale
cocks emblazoned on a broad red band, crossing the shield
horizontally, with a narrow red band on each side of it ; with
a cock's head above, and a motto beneath the shield, which
motto expresses the sentiment, God is my Hope.
Attempting to trace this coat of arms to its origin, we dis-
cover that it seems to be a composite, made of parts of several
coats of arms of the same general family. Of this, however,
we cannot be perfectly sure, because no modern book of Her-
aldry may be supposed to contain all the multitude of devices
of this sort which were stamped on ancient documents, copied
in books and manuscripts now lost, and embossed on seals
and surcoats of armor which have, apparently forever, dis-
appeared. Some such or other undiscovered repository may
yet reveal the original of our escutcheon, intact, in its present
form. But, meantime, we must base our opinion only upon
what we have been able to definitely ascertain after consid-
erable research, the results of which are as follows. Accord-
ing to the best available information there are four coats of

arms borne by different families of the Babcock — or rather
Badcock — name in England, and ours, as presented in the
frontispiece to this volume, is not one of them. One of the
four pertains to the Badcocks of St. Winow, County Corn-
wall; another is displayed by the family in Essex and Mid-
dlesex; a third is distinctive of the Devonshire branch, while
the fourth is borne by Lieut.-Col. Lovell Benjamin Badcock,
of Lincolnshire and Bucks. A fifth variety, moreover, is de-
scribed by Burke, but is unlocated by him further than the
general identification implied by attaching to it the name "Bad-
cock." Our device resembling, and yet differing from, each
one of these in some respect, seems, we repeat, a composite,
which levied upon each of the five for its own composition.
Thus, the argent or silver shield corresponds with the unlo-
cated arms ; the three pale cocks are found in the Cornwall
arrangement; the gules, or red, is displayed in the color of
the cocks in Essex-Middlesex and in Devonshire, and is also
found in the shield color of the Lincolnshire and Bucks device.
As for our crest, it appears to have been derived from the
Devonshire version, which is a cock's head — or demi-cock —
colored gules, or red. Two other and entirely different crests
are also used by the Badcocks in England — one a talbot in
white, or silver, which surmounts the Lincolnshire-Bucks
shield, and the other a stag between two branches of laurel,
which distinguishes the Essex-Middlesex armor. Sable, or
black, is introduced in coloring some parts of three of the
above-mentioned arrangements, and appears, too, in some
copies of our device as the color of the crest and of the scroll
and motto.
For the substance of these details we are indebted,
mostly, to Burke's Heraldry; but that encyclopedic and
recondite compilation does not enable us to trace the con-
stituent parts of our armorial blend to their origin, nor
does it enable us to determine the time of the adoption
of them, severally, by the different county families who
made them their own. While, therefore, the coat of arms
we sport is seemingly a composite one, we are not, and
so far as we know nobody is. informed as to when or w^hy it
was thus composed. Perhaps its composition was due to mar-
riage, at different times in the remote past and within the
family connection, which might have induced the individuals
concerned to blend their armorial bearings while uniting their
joys and dividing their sorrows. But if this be the true ex-
planation of the composition in question no proof of it can be

here produced, because, so far as we are able to decide, no
such proof exists. Whenever and however our escutcheon
acquired its present form, there were, at that unknown time,
brought together in it symbols of ancient family life, which
serve to remind us that that life reaches in many directions,
and a long way into the past of England. Mere conjectures
upon this, as upon most subjects, are worthless, based as they
are upon no sustaining evidence. Indeed, there seems to be
but one clear and positive statement which here may safely be
made, and that is, that at any rate the coat of arms printed in
this book has been long known, at least as a picture, in this
country; for it is, in all essential particulars, the duplicate of
a copy in the present writer's possession, the original of which
hung, during said writer's early boyhood, in the dining room
of his grandfather, John Babcock, of New Haven, Conn.
And this last statement leads to the reflection that in the
opinion of all good Americans coats of arms are, in this coun-
try, valuable only as pictures, anyway. They are looked upon
by most of us as part of the worn-out trappings of a state of
society which, so far as we are concerned, has passed away.
To us they are merely curious reminders of ancient and obso-
lete standards for estimating human worth, and the sight of
them nowadays, in our land, is apt to provoke either good-
natured derision or contemptuous sneers. Well, so may it
always be, in so far as it is necessary to the perpetuation of
republican institutions. Nevertheless, coats of arms, in their
palmy days, so far from being mere flauntings of pride of
place, served a most serious, practical purpose. They saved
many times, no doubt, valuable human lives. For, in those
old days when men went into battle clad from head to foot in
armor, with faces completely concealed by the closed visors
of their steel helmets, there was no way of recognizing a war-
rior thus accoutered save by his coat of arms. This was so
called because of the fact that it was embroidered on the sur-
coat, or "camise," made of leather or silk, or other stuff, which
was worn over the annor, in full view. Seeing this symbol of
rank and leadership in the midst of an affray, friends would
rally to support the wearer of it, while foes, if victorious,
would spare that wearer's life for the sake of making a valu-
able prisoner. It is said that the last of the De Clares owed
his death in the battle of Bannockburn to his having^ neo-lected
to wear his coat of arms, by which he might have been recog-
nized and his life saved for captivity. And so, doubtless,
many another good man and true was killed, on other battle-
X Coat of Arms and Family Origin.
fields, and many another spared, because of the absence, or the
presence, on his surcoat of the heraldic emblem, which told, or
failed to tell, who he was for the information of friends and
foes.
But, beyond this humane, though incidental, service ren-
dered by the coat of arms, its blazonry as a family distinction
tended to emphasize that individuality of being and of doing,
which is so necessary to progress and prosperity in human
life. Individuality stamps itself, for good or evil, on the
world's history, strive to submerge it in the community as we
may. Judah with his lion, and the old Romans with their
eagles, sought by those emblems to indicate the possession of
strength and swiftness in doing what was conceived by them
to be right in ethical and social ways. When Judah's lion
reared his head, righteousness was declared, as becoming a
nation. Where the Roman eagles were uplifted, there law and
order was proclaimed to all the world. And, similarly, the
adoption of a distinctive armory, with crest and legend, more
or less descriptive of individual qualities, or deeds, was the
declaration of a personality distinct and separate, because it
was connected with, and pledged to, a certain line of conduct
worthy of remembrance with pride.
Coats of arms were not granted, or assumed, save for cause
worthy of perpetuation. Such insignia, from being personal
at the first, soon became hereditary, subject to the rules and
laws which governed the descent of titles and property. Fam-
ilies in the legitimate possession of such devices traced thereby
connection with the name and fame of their ancestors, and
were thus stimulated, in their individual membership, to be
worthy of the blood they shared with those who, in olden
times, had done something worth while. If there is anything
in this consideration which is morally stimulating to the Bab-
cocks of our day, then our coat of arms is not quite useless —
it has not come down to us in vain. Our escutcheon suggests
a somewhat belligerent character, it must be confessed. Three
fighting cocks on a fiery background, with a head of the same
game bird lustily crowing as a crest, do not altogether bode
for peace. 'Tis true the cocks are pale, but paleness in a
fighter sometimes denotes great determination. If the content
of our shield is indeed indicative of our ancestral or our actual
temperament, let us, under the encouragement of our motto,
hope that the fighting was, and is, always done on the right
side. Without victories, of one sort or another, the world
could not go on. Our weapons now must be of the moral and
Coat of Arms and Family Origin xi
intellectual sort. The crossbow and the mace, the battle-ax
and the shield have passed, and forever, out of our hands. No
camise, or surcoat, bearing argent with three pale cocks on a
fesse gules will ever grace our shoulders as we fight, for those
tokens of a fighter have long since gone the way of outworn
garments. Sic transit gloria mtmdi. But there are other
glories to win, in another kind of warfare. Let us take heart
of grace, even though some portion of our ancestral ward-
robe has gone into the inevitable ragbag which Time holds,
always open, for the reception of things unfit for present use.
From what has now been said it goes without saying that
the Babcock family is of English — perhaps we may say of
Saxon — origin. Precisely when and where in England it
originated it is impossible now to ascertain. Hence the amount
of credence to be given to the assertion* that it was founded
A. D. 449 by a Saxon warrior in the ranks of Hengist and
Horsa, who came with a Saxon army to succor the English
against the Picts and Scots, must be determined by each reader
for himself. Wherever it originated, the family — judging by
the name — is numerous in the United Kingdom; representa-
tives of it being found in Cornwall, Devonshire, Lincolnshire,
Middlesex, and Essex, but found, seemingly, most numerous
in Essex. The name Badcock — probably pronounced "Badco"
— may have been of Saxon origin, for the family may be pro-
visionally traced to residence in Essex County at the time of
the Norman Conquest. The word "provisionally" is used
advisedly here, and the proviso attaches to the reliability of
the following statement. It is saidf that a certain Sir William
Seager narrated, as a result of his visit to Essex County in
1612, that Sir Richard Badcock was the nineteenth in descent
from the first holder of the family mansion there. If we ac-
cept this statement and allow a century to represent the lives
of three generations, then six centuries must have elapsed be-
tween Sir Richard and his eighteenth ancestor, who, conse-
quently, lived early in the eleventh century — the century of
the Norman Conquest. It is hereupon conjectured that while
the Badcocks were among the Saxon settlers in England they
had no family name or seat in a formal way until Richard
Badcock's ancestor permanently located, as aforesaid, in the
eleventh century, at Wivenhoe, Essex County, near the sea.
It is alleged,* upon the authority of a reference to Wright's
History of Essex, that the Badcock mansion which was occu-

pied by Sir Richard in Wivenhoe was still standing there in
i8so- but, as neither volume nor page in Wright s big work
is quoted, the reference cannot conveniently be verihed.
The foregoing sketch of our ancestry in England is given—
in the absence of documentary corroboration— for precisely
what it is worth, and having by this gentle word of warning
justified ourselves, we gingerly proceed along our somewhat
uncertain way. We are about to try to get the family aero s
from England to New England, and the only means available
for our purpose seems to be "family tradition." Now, tradi-
tion is unwritten history, and if it be genuine and authentic t
is iust as good as written history, which, notwithstanding ts
supposed superiority, has itself been defined as the most de-
lightful of fictions. Now, it may be fiction and it may be fact
bSt it is certainly tradition that the first Badcock o come
from England to our America was one James, alleged to be
a younge^r brother of that Sir Richard Badcock who in Sir
William Seager's time, lived at Wivenhoe in Essex. The fact
that there w?re Badcocks at Wivenhoe, at all, -- -^e^^' ^^ ^^

toil — which extends eastward from Layer de la Haye, four
and one half miles from Colchester and fifty-five miles from
London — in Essex, there is, a quarter of a mjle northwest
from the church, a manor house of Badcocks* which is sup-
posed to be the estate which belonged to one Alice le Des-
penser, daughter and heiress of Philip Bassett, at the time of
her decease in 1281. The land of this manor house appears
to have been given by Thomas Whot and John Henny to St.
Botolph's priory in Colchester in 1398.* How those gentle-
men became possessed of the land does not appear. Later, in
1523, Thomas Springe died possessed of the manor of Adbur-
ton called Badcocks;" still later Thomas, Lord Audeley, had
this estate, as had also, his nephew, Thomas Audeley, Esq.,
who died in 1572; and yet later it passed through several
hands to the ownership of Francis Canning, Esq.* This is
pretty circumstantial and reliable, and although the property
mentioned evidently passed out of the family holding previous
to 1 28 1, it shows the antiquity of the Badcocks as residents
of Essex County.
Again, at East Thorp — which is a village name of Saxon
derivation — there is confirmatory evidence of the ancient resi-
dence of the Badcock people in Essex in the existence there
of a manor of Badcocks, which at one time belonged to the
Tey family and later came to a family by the name of Shep-
herd, f But East Thorp is not Wivenhoe, and Abberton is
not Wivenhoe, and we are assured, as above, that the name
Badcock is not in the Wivenhoe parish register. Nevertheless,
"family tradition" has it that at Wivenhoe lived — born about
1580 — a younger brother of Sir Richard, named James Bad-
cock, a clergyman of the Church of England, of Puritanical
persuasion, who became an exile in 1620 to Leyden, Holland,
for the sake of religious liberty, and sailing thence, with
others landed in New England — some say at Plymouth,
Mass. — in 1623, thus becoming the founder of the family in
this country.?: Whatever doubt, or denial, there may be of the
truth of this tradition arises, presumably, in the first place,
because the tradition is entirely unsupported by documentary
evidence. There are no passenger lists of ships arriving at
Plymouth in 1623, or in 1624; no deeds, or land apportion-
ments; no mention of election, or of appointment, to local
civil, or military offices or duties; no wills or other probate

papers; no references in contemporaneous literature — in
short, there is nothing in the shape of discovered records to
show that James Badcock, aforesaid, landed in 1623, as tradi-
tion relates, at Plymouth, or elsewhere, in Massachusetts. On
the contrary, there are circumstances and also records, which
tend to impair, and for some minds to destroy, the trustworthi-
ness of said tradition. What those circumstances and facts
of record are may easily be learned by reading the pages fol-
lowing, in the body of this book, for it does not fall within the
scope of this Preface to relate, or to comment upon them.
One remark, however, we may permit ourselves, which
is that there can be no slightest doubt that a man named
James Badcock was living, in the year 1642, at Portsmouth,
R. I. Who was this man? Was he the traditionary James
said to have been born in Essex, England, about 1580 and to
have landed in America in 1623? This man himself, upon
one occasion, in an affidavit, made it certain that he was born
in 1611-12. Was he, then, a son of that reputed Plymouth
James, or was he, possibly, a nephew or other relative?
The man who is able to successfully reply to these queries
has a most enthusiastic welcome awaiting him at the hands
of many good, and would-be grateful, people. It is an in-
tricate and a difficult question — the question as to precisely
where, and by whom, the Badcock connection was made be-
tween old England and our New England shores — and who-
ever deals with it is entitled to his own conclusion. Fortu-
nately for himself, the writer of this article is not called upon
to settle this question, but he may commend it to the earnest
consideration of the reader of these lines. Entered upon with
interest and pursued with fidelity, we are confident this ques-
tion would provide occupation during active life and even
afiford food for thought during declining years. But of one
thing herewith connected we may be sure. James Badcock
was in Portsmouth, R. I., in 1642. How he came to be there,
and how long he had at that time been in this country, we do
not know. To him those of us who are concerned in this vol-
ume trace our origin in this land. And as he evidently did not
spring out of the earth in Portsmouth, or fall from the sky
there, and as he said he was born in 1611-12 — and, therefore,
not born in this country — it is pretty plain that he came here
from England, and there is strong presumptive evidence that
Essex County was the region of his birth.
The solid ground of fact, therefore, upon which at last we
stand may be indicated in about two words: i. Our branch
Coat of Arms and Family Origin. xv
of the Babcock folk came from old England to New England
early in the seventeenth century — certainly prior to 1642.
2. We share with the English Badcocks a coat of arms which
helps to show that, as a family, we have lived long enough in
the world to know how to live wisely and, therefore, well.
The point of this last observation, as the renowned Cap'n
Ed'ard Cuttle might remark, lies in the application of it.
What more ought we to say ? Farewell !

INTRODUCTION
MANY readers of this volume may be surprised to
find that dates and incidents pertaining to James
Babcock, the first immigrant ancestor of the Babcock
family, as well as records of his children, differ from records
which they have long believed to be true. The reason is not
difficult to find. In 1844 Mr. Sidney Babcock, of New
Haven, Conn., printed a leaflet containing the Babcock coat
of arms, and certain Babcock family records which he states
were copied from records prepared by Albert Wells, of Pal-
myra, N. Y. This leaflet must have been sent out in great
numbers, as the author of this volume has learned of it from
many parts of the country.
In American Family Antiquity, published in 1881 by Albert
Wells, the dates and incidents found in the leaflet referred to
are essentially repeated. A catalogue of the First Puritan
Settlers of the Colony of Connecticut, published by R. R.
Hinman, 1846, contains virtually the same Babcock records as
those given by Wells. In 1852 Hinman published another
volume of the same name, in which his Babcock records are re-
peated and enlarged, and at the end of these records he states
"Communicated by Wells ;" hence it appears that Wells was
responsible for Babcock records published by Hinman.
^^'ell-authenticated historical facts show that their dates and
statements of incidents are zvrong. While W^ells and Hinman
differ slightly as to details, the general statements given by
them are about as follows : James Babcock, born in England
1580, removed to Leyden, Holland, in 1620, and in 1623 em-
barked in the ship Anne and arrived at Plymouth, ]\Iass., in
July, 1623, where he lived the residue of his life and died.
At the time of his immigration he had four children, James,
John. Job, and Mary, who were born in England from 16 12
to 1620, and were brought over with their father. He was
married again about 1650 in Plymouth, and had one son,
Joseph. James, the first, Job, the third, and Mary, the fourth,

remained with their father in Plymouth. Joseph, the fifth,
removed to Connecticut, near Saybrook, where he made settle-
ment. John Babcock, the second son, removed with a number
of others about the year 1648 into that part of Rhode Island
now called Westerly, where the company began a settlement
and named the place. Here he remained the residue of his
life and died July 19, 17 19, aged over one hundred years. He
left ten children at the time of his death. (End of statements
from Wells and Hinman. )
While we are forced to admit that we have no knowledge as
to the exact date when James Badcock came to America, it is
certain that he did not come in the ship Anne and that he did
not settle in Plymouth. In August, 190J, the author of this
volume searched carefully in the library of Plymouth for
records that might indicate that James Badcock came to Amer-
ica in the ship Anne or that he lived in Plymouth, but found
no trace of any such record. In the History of the Town of
Plymouth, by William T. Davis (former President of the Pil-
grim Society), published in 1885, is the following statement:
"No passenger list of the Anne and the Little James, which
arrived July and August, 1623, has been preserved; but unless
some died before the division of lands in 1624, a list is given
which must approximate to accuracy." In this list the name
of Badcock or Babcock does not appear, hence it is evident
that James Badcock did not come to America in the ship Anne.
Ancient Landmarks of Plymouth, by William T. Davis, pul)-
lished in 1899, contains a genealogical register of all Plymouth
families, including all the births and marriages to the present
generation. The author in his preface says, "It is believed to
contain nearly every name connected with Plymouth before
the present century." The name Badcock or Babcock is not
found among his settlers of Plymouth ; hence it is safe to con-
clude that the statement so often repeated, that James Badcock
settled in Plymouth, is not true. Records in this book will
show that James, Sr., was born in 161 2 ; that he was in Ports-
mouth, R. I., 1642, where he resided for about twenty years;
tliat March, 1661-2, he removed to that part of Rhode Island
which - w^as later named Westerly, where he s]3ent the re-
mainder of his life and died there June 12, 1679. It is not
true that "he married his second wife in Plymouth about
1650." His first wife, Sarah, was living in Westerly in 1665,
and joined with her husband in deeding land owned by them
in Portsmouth. James Badcock by his first wife, Sarah, did
have four children, James. John, Job, and Mary, as stated by
Introduction. xxi
\\'ells, but it is not true that they "were born in England from
the year 1612 to 1620," neither is it true that James, Job, and
Mary settled with their father in Plymouth. Records of these
children found in this volume will show that they all settled
in Westerly. R. 1., where each married, had children, and died
there.
It is true that one of James Badcock's children by his second
w'de, Elizabeth, was named Joseph, but it is not true that he
was born about 1650 in Plymouth, nor that he settled near
Saybrook, Conn. He was born in Westerly about 1670, as
is shown by his father's will and inventory, and settled in
Stonington, Conn, (which town join.s \\"esterly, R. I.), where
he spent the remainder of his life. (See records of 6 Joseph.)
A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New Eng-
land, pul)lished in i860 by James Savage (former President
of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and Editor of Win-
throp's History of New England), contains the following:
"Strange is the combination of errors in Hinman, that one
James Babcock who went to Leyden in Holland, 1620, joined
the friends of Robinson, came in the Anne 1623 to Plymouth.
. . . Now we know- that no passenger of this name came in
that ship, and I have a very strong reason, after much inquiry,
to doubt that any such man lived in the colony during its
earliest forty years."
In the same volume ^Ir. Savage also states that James Bab-
cock gave evidence in 1670 that his own age was fifty-eight
years, that his sons James and John were twenty-nine and
twenty-six years respectively. From this statement it will be
observed that James, Sr., was born in 1612, that his son James
was born in 1641 and John in 1644.
The following quotation is taken from the History of
Stonington, published in 1900 by Judge Richard A. Wheeler:
''James Babcock, born in 1612, who was the first progenitor
of the Babcock family of ^^^esterly and the region round about,
first appears in Portsmouth in 1642. . . . During the year
1670 he gave testimony, calling his age fifty-eight years, his
son James twenty-nine, and his son John twenty-six."
In reply to an inquiry by the author of this volume. Judge
Wheeler w^rote Sept. 2Q. 1900. that he was well acquainted
with Mr. Savage in i860, and that IMr. Savage informed him
that his authority for the testimony given by James Babcock
as to his age and that of his sons w^as unquestionable. J. O.
Austin in his Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island, pub-
lished in 1887, p. 8, states the following of James Babcock,
xxii Introduction.
Sr. : "J^"''^ 1 8, 1670, he was warned by warrant from the
Commissioners of Connecticut to appear before them to make
answer for seizure of three Connecticut men on a warrant
issued by Tobias Sanders. He was released on bail. He gave
testimony this year, calling his age fifty-eight years, his son
James twenty-nine, and his son John twenty-six years." From
the records of James Badcock in this volume it will be seen that
in 1670, during a controversy between Rhode Island and Con-
necticut as to the boundary line between the two colonies,
James Badcock was arrested in Westerly by Connecticut au-
thorities and taken June 23 to Stonington for trial. The orig-
inal records of that trial have not been found l)y the author of
this book, but it is believed the evidence of James Badcock as
to his age and that of his sons, referred to by Savage, Wheeler,
and Austin, was taken at this trial.
The following statement is taken from Family of Babcocks
of Milton, Mass., by William S. Appleton, A.M., 1865 : "The
Babcock family has been so unfortunate as to be honored with
an elaborate traditional pedigree more richly furnished with
mistakes than is usual even in such. It may be read at length
in Hinman's First Puritan Settlers of Connecticut, pp. 92 and
106, and has justly excited the indignation of Mr. Savage. The
long list of births supposed to have happened in England and
Dorchester, Mass., is certainly wrong. Two years ago I ex-
amined the register of the Church of Wivenhoe, England, and
none of them can be found there, nor did I see a single entry
of the name of Babcock."
HINMAN AND WELLS BABCOCK RECORDS.
By Col. Andrew J. Babcock.
MANY persons whose surname is Babcock in searching
for their early ancestors have, unfortunately, fallen in
with the records prepared by Mr. Royal Hinnian, in
his First Puritan Settlers of Connecticut, and the statements
of i\lr. Albert Wells.
In 1 88 1 I first saw their writings, and with many others
believed them implicitly, but after the most diligent and care-
ful research I am convinced there is but little truth in the
writings of either Hinman or Wells concerning the Babcock
family. I would advise all of our name who are interested in
their earthly origin not to credit the writings of Wells and
Hinman, for they are certainly fabrications. Hinman states :
"James, the first of the name known in New England,
was an Episcopal clergyman, and settled in the rectory of
Wivenhoe, Essex County, England. He went to Leyden,
Holland, for the purpose of embarking for America, and, per-
suading others to unite with him, and actually became one of
the 'Puritan Fathers.' . . . James was born at Wivenhoe, Essex
County, England, in 1580, . . . came to New England in the
ship Anne, and landed at Plymouth in July, 1623, and after-
ward removed to Dorchester, ]\Iass. (now Milton), where he
resided the remainder of his life."
]\Ir. Hinman then gives the children of James as follows:
James. Jr., born 1616; John, born 161 8; Job, born 1620;
Mary, born 162 1. He states that James, Jr., married at Dor-
chester about 1637, and had children (gives the names of four-
teen). Now, there was no James Babcock came in the ship
Anne in 1623, or in any ship which reached Plymouth later.
His removal to Dorchester, Mass., where he resided the re-
mainder of his life, the marriage of his son James, Jr., at
Dorchester, 1637, to Jeanne , the birth to them of four-
teen children, have no foundation in fact whatever. The true
history of this James, Jr., is entirely different from the above.
Now comes Mr. Albert Wells, who in 1844 compiled a
record of the early Babcocks in this country, which many of
us have seen, read, and believed until, by a personal investiga-
xxiii
xxiv Hinman and Wells Bahcock Records.
tion, we found it was devoid of truth. Mr. Wells states nearly
the same as Mr. Hinman. Which was first out, we know not,
but it looks very much as if one copied from the other.
Mr. Wells recites the ship Anne, Plymouth, 1623, tale, and
that "J'lrn^s Badcock lived in Plymouth the residue of his life.
... At the time of his immigration he brought four children,
James, John, Job, and Mary, who were born in England from
the years t6i2 to 1620. . . . James, the first child. Job. the
third, and Mary, the fourth, remained with their father in
Plymouth. . . . John Babcock, the second son, removed about
1648, to that part of Rhode Island now called \\'esterly. . . .
died there July 19, 1719, aged over one hundred years."
In 1889 we made a trip to Plymouth, the chief reason for
going being to substantiate Hinman's and Wells's statements,
and examined every document likely to impart information
upon this subject, but found nothing whatever. Since then
we have read several of the histories of the Pilgrims and of
Plymouth, and are much impressed with Baylies's History of
Plymouth Colony, Boston, 1830. From it we learn the ships
Anne and the Little James arrived at Plymouth in July and
August, 1623. The Anne brought sixty immigrants, some of
whom were the wives and children of those already there.
Nothing has been found to show that any Badcock or Babcock
came on either ship. From a record of the division of cattle
which occurred on the 27th of May, 1627, it is believed that
every family and person in the town can be ascertained, and
the town was at that time the colony. No person named Bad-
cock or Babcock appears in that record. Again, on p. 264,
vol. i, Baylies's History, is a catalogue of names of all persons
in the colony, but the name Badcock or Babcock does not ap-
pear among them.
The names of the first settlers of the towns of Duxbury,
Scituate, Taunton, Sandwich, Barnstable. Yarmouth, etc.. all
in Plymouth Colony, have been examined, and the name Bad-
cock or Babcock does not appear upon any of the early records
of these towns. The first date we find the name of Badcock
or Babcock in records of Plymouth Colony is Nov. 27, 1685.
Benjamin Badcock, ct al, all of New Dartmouth (New Bed-
ford), are defendants in a suit of law brought by William
Woods ct al. to recover damages for land alleged to have been
purchased by Wood ct al. of W^oosamquin and Waumesetta.
Case again heard Mar. 2, 1686. The Court grants a nonsuit.
Again, we find the name Return Badcock among the names
of the proprietors of Dartmouth in the confirmatory deed of
Hinnian and Wells Bahcock Records. xxv
William Bradford, Dept. Gov. of the Colony, and executed
Nov. 13, 1694.
We now know that Benjamin and Return Badcock were of
Milton Mass., set off from Dorchester in 1662. It appears
quite evident there was no James Badcock who came to Plym-
outh in the ship Anne 1623, and no settlers of an early date,
surnamed Badcock, in Plymouth, nor in the Colony of Plym-
outh. The first official information we find of James Badcock
he is admitted an inhahitant of Portsmouth, R. I., Feb. 25,
1642. That he was related to Robert and George Badcock
of Dorchester, Mass., later of Milton (set off from Dorches-
ter), we believe there is no doubt. They may have been
brothers. W'e have examined all the lists of immigrants who
came to this country from 1600 to 1700 that we could find,
and failed to find mention of either of the above. We are of
the opinion they came between the years 1630 and 1640.
Soon after James Badcock removed from Portsmouth to
Westerly he with others became invoU^ed in the dispute with
Connecticut relating to the boundary line ; Connecticut claiiii-
ing jurisdiction east of Pawcatuck River. Jtme 17, 1670,
Tobias Sanders, Justice of the Peace in Westerly, R. L, is-
sued a warrant "To James Badcock, constituted constable to
serve this Warrant." He was required to apprehend any per-
son "that shall presume to exercise any atithority in this juris-
diction if it be not duly derived from the authority to whom we
doe belong, and bring them before me and Mr. John Crandell
forwith." He was further directed to "Favle not at your
perill."
On this warrant our first immigrant ancestor. James Bad-
cock, arrested and brought in John Frinck, Benjamin Palmer,
and Thomas Ball. Whereupon a warrant was issued by the
Connecticut authorities to T^Iarshall Cheesbrough "to forwith
go over the River PaW'Catuck to those people that are there
planted, and to warne Tobias Sanders ancl James Badcock,
Senr., j^ersonally to appear before us at Mr. Stanton's house
or Capt. Gookin's house to make answer for their seizing, de-
taining, and unjustly molesting John Frink constable, Benj.
Palmer, and Thomas Ball." June 18, 1670, Tobias Sanders,
James Badcock, Sr., and Samuel Brown, all of Westerly, were
arrested on this warrant, and placed on boiid of one hundred
pounds each.
It w-as probably at the hearing of this case that James Bad-
cock gave testimony, under oath, calling his age fiftv-eight
years, his son James, Jr., twenty-nine, and his son John twenty-
xxvi Hinman and Wells Bahcock Records.
six years. This testimony under oath establishes, beyond a
shadow of doubt, the year of his birth to be 1612, his son
James, Jr., 1641, and his son John, 1644. His first four chil-
dren were born in Portsmouth, R. I. At all events, that was
where the parents of James and John were then living.
In 1623 James Badcock was eleven years of age. It will,
for obvious reasons, be readily seen that he brought no chil-
dren with him from England, as claimed by Messrs. Hinman
and Wells. His son John died early in 1685 at Westerly, aged
forty-one years, and not July 19, 17 19, aged over one hundred
years, as given by Wells.
In conclusion. I will add that these records have led many
of the Babcock family astray and given untold annoyance to
the genealogist to explain away the delusion they labored un-
der, caused by the erroneous records of Royal R. Hinman, of
Connecticut, and Albert Wells, of Palmyra, N. Y.
Springfield, 111., Feb. 4, 1903.
So much space has already been given to controverting the
Wells history that the author of this volume would drop the
discussion were it not that Wells' early dates and incidents are
so nu'sleading, and so many have believed them, that facts de-
mand that his errors and inconsistencies ht further shown.
Wells, in his pamphlet containing Babcock history and coat
of arms, claims that John, the son of James, was born in Eng-
land, between 161 2 and 1620. Again, in American Family
Antiquity, he states that John Babcock settled in Westerly
1648, was a brother of James, Sr., and that he was born about
1625. Then follows the story of love and elopement, reference
to which is made in the records of John Babcock in this volume.
He then says, "There have been contradictions of this romance,
but they come from persons who could not make the John born
1644 old enough for the elopement story."
Town Records of Westerly, Colonial Records of Rhode
Island, and Colonial Records of Connecticut make it perfectly
sure that among the early settlers in Westerly there was but
one John Babcock, and that lie was a son of James the immi-
grant. Hence it will be seen that Wells has given three dif-
ferent dates for the birth of John Babcock the son of James —
namely, about 1615, 1625, and 1644. It will be seen from
the records of John Babcock, mentioned above, that he with
Hinman and Wells Bahcock Records xxvii
his father and others first settled in Westerly in Alarch,
1661-2; hence the statement of Wells that John settled in
Westerly in 1648 cannot be true.
The further quotations from WeWs will all be taken from his
American Family Antiquity.
He says, "It is further stated that John Babcock owned
nearly all of Westerly and a portion of South Kingston, R. I."
The truth is, all of the present township of Westerly was
bought from the Indians by the Misquamicut Company. (See
copy of the company's deed in Westerly and Its Witnesses.)
Joltn Babcock in common w4th other members of the company
received an apportionment of land. (See records of John
Babcock in this book.) No record has been found showing
that he owned land in South Kingston.
Wells states, "John Babcock and others signed an agree-
ment to allow bounty in Misquamokuck (Westerly) on Sat-
urday, 226. of Feb., 1662. (R. I. Hist. Collections, vol. iii,
p. 260.)"
The above quotation by Wells is wrong and misleading.
The names of James and John Badcock do occur in the book
and page quoted by Wells, but it is with reference to a meeting
held at Newport Feb. 22, 166 1-2, at which eighteen men were
selected to go and abide at Misquamicut. (See records of
John Babcock.)
Wells says, "In the list of inhabitants in Westerly, in the
W. T. R., book i, p. 2, dated May 18, 1669, the name of John
Babcock and his son John may be found."
In the book and on the page referred to is a list of the free-
men of Westerly. Among them were four Badcocks, and only
four, namely, James, Sr., James, Jr., John, and Job. There is
110 reference to a John Badcock, Jr.
Wells gives the date of birth of the eldest of John's children
at 1650, and the youngest at 1675, and places the births of
the remaining eight children at intervals between these tw'O
dates. These dates are all wrong, and much too early; for
instance, he says, "George was born 1663." George Babcock
and his wife were buried in South Kingston, R. I., in what
was formerly known as the Babcock bui-ying ground, but is
now known as the Tucker burying ground, and is about four
miles from the railroad station at Kingston. In the summer
of 1900 these graves were visited by the author of this book,
and the gravestones were found in a good state of preserva-
tion. From George's monument was copied the following:
"He departed this life May the ist., A. D. 1756, in ye 83d.
xxviii Hinman and Wells Bahcock Records.
year of his age." This record shows that George Babcock
was born in 1673, or ten years later than the date given by
Wells.
Again, Wells states that "Robert was born 1670, Joseph
1672, and Oliver 1675." In another place he states that Rob-
ert, Joseph, and Oliver chose ''our beloved brother James to
be our guardian, at Westerly, 21st of April, 1698." ( W. T. R.,
vol. ii, p. 170.) The last of his two quotations is correct. If
the dates of birth given of these three boys were also correct,
it would follow that when they chose their guardian Robert
was twenty-eight years old, Joseph twenty-six, and Oliver
twenty-three; but such a conclusion is absurd, hence it is cer-
tain that the dates of birth as given by Wells for this family
are all wrong.
While the records of this volume are of the descendants of
James Badcock, who it is believed was the first of that family
to settle in this country, it is well known that there were two
brothers George and Robert Badcock who settled in Dorches-
ter (now Milton), Mass., alx)ut the year 1650. In a w^ork
by William S. Appleton, A.M., 1865, ^called Appleton's Bad-
cock Family, or Family of Badcocks of Milton, Mass., the
author, referring to George and Robert Badcock, says : "While
I cannot prove that they were related to James Babcock, born
about 1612, of Newport 1642, and of Westerly 1661 (1662),
I have no doubt of the fact. They were probably his brothers.
John, a son of James, named two children George and Robert,
and a great-grandson of James, Sr., went to Milton (where
his presumed cousins lived) for a wife, Sarah Vose."
In a note on the margin of Appleton's work is the follow-
ing: "James Babcock, of Stonington, m. June 12, 1706, Sarah
Vose. (Milton Town Records.)"
A daughter of Robert of Dorchester, named Elizabeth, and
two of his granddaughters, named Hannah and Mary, mar-
ried in Milton men also named Vose. The Massachusetts
Badcocks had become very numerous by 1 700. ( See The New
Eng. Gen. and Hist. Reg. for 1865, vol. xix, p. 215, and fol-
lowing pages.)
Appleton's Badcock Family of Milton, Mass., contains
records of many families who sprang from George and Robert
and settled in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
A History of Ancient Windham, Conn., by William L.
Weaver, 1864, contains records of many families who de-
scended from George and Robert Badcock of Milton.
EXPLANATIONS.
A NUMBER found at the left of a child's name is repeated
where that name appears as the head of a family.
The generation is indicated by an exponent placed after the
Christian name, thus: John^ Babcock means John Babcock
of the second generation.
After the name of the parents of the head of a family there
follow in parentheses the names of the ancestors in genealog-
ical order.
Until after the death of James, Sr., 1679, the family name
was spelled Badcock, or Badcocke; since the death of John,
Sr., 1685, it has been spelled Babcock.
Much the larger part of the records in this book were ob-
tained from family Bibles, and in multitudes of cases different
members of the same family have given different dates for the
same event, hence errors in dates are unavoidable. In one
case the date of the same death was found in the family Bible,
upon the town records, and on the gravestone to be different
in each case, no two agreeing.
The spelling of surnames has undergone many changes, and
in numerous cases members of the same family spell their
names differently. It seems certain that the Babcocks of this
country sprang from the Badcocks of England, and in that
country the name has undergone further changes, as at present
some of the family have changed the name to Badco, and
others to Budco.
DOUBLE DATING.
By the Julian calendar, or old style, New Year's Day was
the 25th of March, March being the first month in the year.
September, October, November, and December were, as their
names imply, the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth months of
the year. By the Gregorian calendar or new style, which was
introduced 1582 New Year's Day was changed to Jan. i.
Great Britain did not fully adopt the new style until Septem-
ber, 1752, but prior to that date, commencing about 1700,
used both old and new style, or double dating. For example :
Capt. James Babcock died Jan. 17, 1736, old style, or Jan. 17,
1737, new style, and is written Jan. 17, 1736-7.

The Babcock Genealogy
1. James^ Badcock, b. 1612, probably in Essex County,
England; d. June 12, 1679; ^- (^) Sarah, who d. 1665
or later; m. (2) 1669 (?) Elizabeth; she m. (2) Sept. 22,
1679, William Johnson and settled in Stonington. Conn.
A myth often repeated and published by writers, who prob-
ably believed it true, states that James came to this country in
the ship Anne, etc. (See Introduction.) From the Early Rec-
ords of the Town of Portsmouth, edited by the State Libra-
rian, under direction of the Rhode Island Legislature, pub-
lished 1 90 1, and from Colonial Records of Rhode Island, the
account of James Badcock's first twenty years in Rhode Island
was copied. His residence for that period was in Portsmouth,
and the records of that town show that his name was spelled
in various ways, probably according to the fancy of the clerk
of the town meeting, namely, Badcock, Badcooke, Badcocke,
and Badcook.
For the first forty years the surname of James and his sons
was usually written Badcock. In the Probate records of John
Badcock's estate the name is spelled Babcock, and at that time
that spelling seems to have been adopted by the family. The
Massachusetts branch of the family appear to have adopted
the new spelling still later.
The English descendants of the family from which James
undoubtedly sprang still retain the name Badcock. In Feb.,
1900, Mr. Jasper C. Badcock, who was Comptroller of the
London Postal Service, expressed the opinion that he and the
American Babcocks sprang from the same source.
James Badcock was admitted an inhabitant of the "towne"
of Portsmouth Feb. 25, 1642. At that time no one was al-
lowed to "build or plant" without first having been voted at
town meeting an inhabitant. At a town meeting held Oct. 5,
1642, James Badcock and Richard Moris were ordered "to
look up all the armes in the Towne within the month above
writ," and "to mend any which were defective for use." Own-
ers were to forfeit five shillings if they failed to bring the arms

in time. At the same meeting ten acres of land were ordered
to be "laide out to James Badcock at the first brooke, next the
footpath eastward." The land is described as "lying Toward
the head of said brooke." (C. R. of R. I.)
About this time there must have been a threatening of war
in the air, as every man was ordered to have "four pounds of
shot and two pounds of powder lying by him in readiness by
the 24th of this month, and to be in readiness to assemble at the
beat of the drum." (P. R.) James Badcock was made a free-
man July 10, 1648, and was appointed a member of a large
committee "for the tryall of the general officers." Dec. 28,
1648, it was granted "to have four acres added to his house
lot." He was chosen a juryman Nov. 21, 1649, June, 1653,
Aug. II, 1656, March 2, 1657, and Oct., 1661. He was chosen
an assessor Feb. 19, 1650. (P. R.)
May 2, 1650, James Badcock with five others was ordered
by the "General Courte, all excuses set aparte, to mende and
make all locks, stocks, and pieces which by order from the
w^arden of each towne shall be presented to them." If this
duty was not performed a penalty of £10 was levied, and men
who failed to bring in their arms forfeited los. each.
In 1655 his name appears in the "Roule of ye Freemen" of
Portsmouth. (C. R. of R. I.)
James Badcock was appointed an appraiser of the estate of
John Wood, May 7, 1655. April 8, 1656, James and seven
others were "appointed to go over to the mayne to treat with
the Indian Sachems to inform them of the mynd of the towne,
that they come not upon the Island but according to order
given." Jan. 6, 1657, "James Badcock and John Sanford are
again authorized to meet with Newport men according to for-
mer order," James Badcock and six others were chosen a
committee to meet with committees appointed from other
towns.
Nov. 30, 1657, James and four others were "appointed to
apportion land to those that want land." (P. R.) He re-
ceived a grant of eight acres of land. He was a member of the
General Court of Commissioners of Rhode Island for Ports-
mouth in 1657, 1658. and 1659. (C. R. of R. I.)
James Badcock was appointed with others to lay out high-
ways. Dec. 27. 1660. and May it. 1661. he was appointed to
settle disputed land boundaries. Aug. 8, 1661. he was one of
a coroner's jury.
James Badcock morved to Westerly in Mar., 1662, but the
last record which refers to him in Portsmouth is dated Dec. 19,

1662. At this time reference is made to a committee which
was previously appointed to lay out certain lands, and this
committee, or the larger part of them, were ordered to restore
to William Wilbor three quarters of an acre of land which the
committee had previously taken from him in their official work.
James Badcock was one of this committee, and as he is referred
to as James Badcock, Sr., it is probable that James, Jr.,
who had reached his majority that year, was then living in
Portsmouth.
June 29, 1660, a tract of land, estimated to be twenty miles
by ten miles, known as Misquamicut, afterward Westerly, was
purchased from the Indian chief Sosoa, by a company headed
by William Vaugn. This company, numbering sixty or more,
was organized at Newport, R. I. The purchasers well knew^
that in 1658 the Massachusetts colony claimed this tract, call-
ing it a part of Southertown and adding it to Suffolk County,
Boston being the county seat. Aug. 27, 1661. the company
appealed to the Colonial Assembly of Rhode Island for assist-
ance in defending their purchase against "adversaries which
by a species of intrusion are seeking to make inroads upon our
privilege of colonies jurisdiction." (C. R. of R. I.)
From Col. of R. I. Hist. Soc, published 1835, vol. iii. pp.
257-261, the following is taken: "Aug. 31, 1661, all pur-
chasers were ordered by the trustees to meet at Cabel (Caleb)
Carrs, at Newport, to go to Squamucuck." Two weeks later,
Sept. 15. the company was at '"Misquamicut," and a certain part
of the tract was apportioned by lot. The number of James
Badcock's lot w-as 52. At the time of this visit arrangements
were made for a temporary occupancy of the land. The com-
pany was divided into small parties, each party to stay upon
the land for a certain number of weeks. Anyone who refused
to serve had to provide a substitute or pay a fine. Nov. i',
1 66 1, Tobias Sanders, Robert Burdet (Burdick), and Joseph
Clark were arrested upon the land by the authority of Massa-
chusetts. Sanders and Burdick were taken to Boston, where
they were fined forty pounds each and imprisoned "until their
fines should be paid, and until each should give security in
£100 for his future good conduct." Nov. 12, 1661, the number
of trustees for the "Squamicuck" purchase was increased from
eight to eighteen. Two of the names added were James Bad-
cock and John Badcock.
The following Mar., 1661-2. the company made their first
permanent settlement at Misquamicut (Westerly). For de-
tails of the preparation and starting for their new^ home, see

records of 3 Johir Badcock. It will be observed that the name
of the company in the early records was spelled in several dif-
ferent ways.
Before starting from Newport the company named James
Badcock and four others who were appointed and "commis-
sionated to act for us as to the managing of our affairs at
Misquamucock who are to discourse and answer to any that
shall come to debate matters Avith them. They or any two of
them, to forewarn any whatsoever either to build or sow, mow
or fall timber upon that tract of land," (End of quotation
from Col. of R. I. Hist. Soc.)
In 1662 Connecticut laid claim to the tract, and did not en-
tirely relinquish her claim until 1728. Soon after arriving at
Misquamicut disputes arose with Connecticut authorities about
the boundary line. These disputes led to arrests, imprison-
ments, fines, appeals, and the appointment of commissions be-
tween the two colonies.
Mar. 18, 1664, James Badcock petitioned the General Court
(Assembly), sitting at Newport, for protection "against such
riotous actings as are done and committed by the men of
Southertown against him." (Southertown being in Connecti-
cut.) The court requested the Governor and Deputy Governor
to send a letter to the government of Connecticut "to see what
they will say by way of answer to such riotous acting as are
done and committed by the men of Southertown against the
said Badcock." (C. R. of R. I., vol. ii, pp. 32-34.) In 1665
James sold his dwelling house, barn, orchard, etc., in Ports-
mouth, R. I., to Thomas Fish for fifty pounds; his wife,
Sarah, giving her consent. James, Jr., witnessed the deed.
It appears that in May, 1667, James Badcock with a com-
pany of men drove the Pequot Indians from planting ground
claimed by the Indians, located on the Misquamicut purchase
east of the Pawcatuck River. May 18, 1667, Harmon Garret
(alias Wequascooke, chief of the Pequots) petitioned the Gen-
eral Court of Connecticut, praying "that such men as wear hats
and clothes like Englishmen, but have dealt with us like
wolves and bears, may be called to account." At a Connecticut
court held at Wickford (which is now in R. I.), June 21, 1670,
James Badcock was charged by Mr. Gookin, of Cambridge,
Mass., with driving Harmon Garret and his Indians (tenants
of Gookin) from their land. (All of the alcove is from Pub-
lic Records of the Colony of Connecticut, book 1665-78, pp.
52Q-.S46.)
Westerly was incorporated May, 1669, at which time there

were twenty-four freemen in the town, lour of whom were
Badcocks, viz., James and his three sons, James, John, and
Job. ( \\\ and \V.) Westerly then comprised the present
towns of Westerly. Charlestown, Hopkinton, and Richmond.
On June 17, 1670, James Badcock, Sr., by virtue of a war-
rant issued by Tobias Sanders, arrested three Connecticut men,
John Frink, Benjamin Palmer, and Thomas Bell, who had
crossed into Rhode Island to summon the Westerly men to
appear before a certain court to be held in Connecticut. Said
Frink was sent to Rhode Island Jail. The next day Mr. Bad-
cock was arrested by officers from Connecticut and placed
under a bond of £100 to "personally appear and surrender
himself to Nehemga Palmer, Constable of Stonington, pro
tempore, Wednesday morning next by six of the clock."
Tobias Sanders and Thomas Stanton became his bonds-
men, each for £50. (C. R. of R. L, vol. ii, pp. 319, 320.)
Col. A. J. Babcock, of Springfield, 111., says: "We take it for
granted that bright and early 'six of the clock,' on the morn-
ing of June 23, 1670, Badcock was there ready to answer all
charges of the adverse faction; but it appears they were not
ready to prove these charges. The case was continued until
June of the next year, Badcock giving a bond in the sum of
£20 to appear at the County Court in New London, Conn."
The details of these arrests, counter-arrests, bonds, and
trials are repeated substantially as here stated in Public Rec-
ords of the Colony of Connecticut, 1665-78, p. 553.
June 23, 1670, is supposed to have been the date that James,
Sr., made affidavit to the ages of himself and his two sons.
(See Preface in this volume.)
May 18, 1 67 1, James Badcock and John Badcock are re-
corded as renewing their allegiance to Rhode Island and the
king; most of the inhabitants, including James, Jr., and Job
Badcock. having renewed their allegiance the previous dav.
(C. R. of R. I., vol. ii, pp. 388, 389.)
James in his fifty-ninth year, 1678, was baptized by Elder
William Hiscox, and united with the Seventh Day Baptist
church of Newport and Westerly. (R. I. Hist. Soc, vol. iii.)
That James owned land in Westerly is proved by Westerly
Town Records, book i, p. 66. These records show that April
17. 1 69 1, "Joseph Babcock of Stonington relinquished to his
brother James Babcock. of Westerly, for a consideration, his
claim to land l^elonging to their father, the late James Bab-
cock of Westerlv, and Iving on the east side of the Pawcatuck
River."
6 The Babcock Genealogy.
He declared his last will and testament to his sons John and
Job, June 12, 1679, and they appeared Sept. 17, 1679, before
the Governor of Rhode Island at a court held at Westerly,
and "being solemnly engaged" testified to the truth of their
father's will as he verbally gave it to them. The will is re-
corded in vol. i, Land Evidence, in the office of the Secretary
of State, Providence, R. I. A copy of the will is printed in
the appendix of this volume.
Among the several legacies named in the will, he "be-
queathed unto his son Joseph all his housing and lands for
him, the said Joseph Badcock to take unto his possession when
he shall attain to the age of twenty-one years."
The following extract from the will shows that James had
three children by his second wife: "He willed and declared
that all the remaining part of his estate, beside what he hath
herein bequeathed, he did give unto his wife, Elizabeth Bad-
cock, for the maintenance and bringing up of the three chil-
dren he had by his second wife."
Accompanying the records of the will and inventory is the
following, which shows that his eldest child by the second wife
was born about 1670: "An inventoiy of the estate of James
Badcock, Sr., deceased in June last, 1679, in Stonington, with-
otit a will, leaving a widow w-ith three children, the eldest a
son about nine years old."
These glimpses of an interesting life show that James Bad-
cock (Babcock), Sr., w^as a man of sterling integrity and of
strong convictions. He was respected by his neighbors, hon-
ored and trusted as a citizen, and ready to serve the commu-
nity in w^hatever capacity he w^as appointed.

2. James- Badcock, Jr., son of James and Sarah Badcock,
b. Portsmouth, R. I. (?), 1641 (see statement of his
father); d. Westerly, now Woodville, R. I., 1698; m. Jane,
dau. of Nicholas Brown. She d. 1719 (?). James was a
blacksmith and a farmer in that part of Westerly which is now
Woodville, Hopkinton, R. I., where he manufactured iron
from bog ore and from black sand gathered upon the sea-
shore.
About 1875 or 1880 Thomas A. Edison manufactured iron
of a peculiar quality from ore gathered from the seashore in
the same vicinity.
Fifty years ago Woodville was known as the "Lower Iron
Works," though no iron had been manufactured there within
the memory of the oldest inhabitant. James and his wife,
Jane, were in 1692 members of the S. D. B. Church of New-
port and Westerly, R. I.
In 1665 James was witness to a deed by which his father
conveyed to Thomas Fish orchard, dwelling house, etc., in
Portsmouth.
May 18, 1669, he and his brothers John and Job were made
freemen by the Legislature ; the same date James received title
to a town lot in Westerly, No. 35. The same year he received
another town lot, No. 48. (Westerly Records.)
May 17, 1 67 1, upon petition, it was ordered by the court that
the inhabitants of Westerly be called upon "To see how they
stand as to their fidelity to his Majestic and this Colony."
Records show that James Badcock, Jr., constable, had been
directed to "warn in" the inhabitants of Westerly to appear at
this court, but he, probably fearing the Connecticut authorities,
did not obey the injunction. The General Constable (Henry
Palmer) was ordered to bring "said James Badcock before this
court."
He appeared, and with others renewed his allegiance. After
King Philip's War was over, Sept. 17, 1679, the oath of alle-
giance was again taken by the inhabitants of Westerly. Among
them were James, John, and Job Badcock. James was chosen
Deputy to the General Assembly March 15, 168 1-2, March 15,
1683-4, and October, 1692. (Westerly Records.)
Dec. 13, 1687, James Badcock was a member of the Grand
Jury. He was chosen a Selectman for the years ensuing. May,
1688, and May, 1689. He was chosen a Town Councilman
July 2, 1693.
Nov. 16, 1694, his wife, Jane, had a legacy of £10 from her
father. In 1696 James was chosen Town Councilman. He died

intestate, 1698, and by the law of primogeniture the real estate
went to his oldest son, James. The inventory of his personal
property, amounting to £97 8d. was dated Jan. 10, 1699. An
agreement was made l)y the widow and children as to the dis-
tribution of the property. (See Austin, p. 8.)

Tradition says that John and his wdfe, Mary, eloped from
Newport, settled upon the east bank of the Pawcatuck River,
on Massatuxet Cove (near what is now Avondale, town of
Westerly, R. I.), with no neighbors but the friendly Indians,
and that they were not discovered by their parents for several
3^ears. Much poetry and romance have been written upon this
tradition, but as no history has been found to establish it as
a fact, and as authentic records seem clearly to disprove the
statement, w'e must class the elopement story as fiction.
Rhode Island Historical Society Records, vol. iii, pp. 257-
261, published 1835, gives a detailed account of the formation
of the Misciuamicut Company, of its purchase of Misquamicut.
or what is now Westerly and three other adjoining towns, and
of its first permanent settlement. Mar., 166 1-2.
At a meeting of the company held at Newport, Jan. 20,
1661-2, the following action was taken: "It is agreed that
some shall be appointed to survey the tract of land at Misquami-
cut and take a plat of the circumference thereof, and that also

engagements, both to his Majesty and this Colony." (C. R.
of R. 1., vol. ii, pp. 389, 390.)
"About that time King Philip's War broke out, and the
treachery and cruelty of the Indians was such that most of the
pioneers of Westerly were obliged to flee from their homes
and take refuge on the island of Rhode Island. No delegate
from the town appears in the General Assembly for five years."
(W. and W.)
The following is taken from Early History of Rhode Island,
vol. ii, p. 256, by Richman, published 1902: "At the end of
King Philip's War the Rhode Island occupants of Narragan-
sett were pretty nearly all upon the island of Rhode Island,
whither they had fled for their lives. But by Sept. and Oct.,
1676. they had begun to return to their abandoned lands and
to rebuild their ruined houses and barns."
From the time of its settlement by the Misquamicut Com-
pany, Westerly was claimed by both Rhode Island and Con-
necticut, and Connecticut did not relinquish her claim to the
town until 1728.
The indications are that when the war broke out John Bad-
cock and his familv remained in their home in Westerlv, which
was across the river from Connecticut, and as he could have
no protection from Rhode Island sought the protection of Con-
necticut. Tradition says that John volunteered with the Con-
necticut Alilitia, which was organized for protection against
the Indians ; that in King Philip's War he was with the Con-
necticut Militia in the "Great Swamp Fight," Dec. 19, 1675,
and that his son Elihu was born at that time.
In vol. i, Narragansett Historical Register, is an article by
Judge Richard A. Wheeler, author of History of Stonington,
giving names of the Connecticut volunteers in King Philip's
"\\^ar who received bounty land from the Colony of Connecticut.
Among the names of the Stonington Militia appears that of
John Babcock.
Voluntown records show that "bounty land which was set
off to John Babcock, deceased, was conveyed Apr. 14, 1749,
by Oliver Babcock (youngest son of John) to John Dickinson,
of Stonington."
"John Badcock was propounded a freeman of the Colony of
Connecticut May 14. 1676, and later was admitted a freeman."
(C. R. of Conn., book 1665-78.) This must have occurred
during King Philip's W^ar, while John was a lone settler in
Westerly.
After King Philip's W^ar was over, and the white settlers of

a sufficient party shall go along with the surveyor or surveyors
thereof, to abide upon the saicl land to hold possession thereof,
in the beginning of March next ensuing."
On page 260 is found this quotation : "At a meeting of the
company held the next month, Feb. 22, 166 1-2, eighteen per-
sons were selected to go the following March and abide at
Misquamicut, to be there till November next, and that £5 be
allowed to every man." James Badcock, Sr., and John Bad-
cock were two of the eighteen selected. At the same meeting,
"It was ordered that the vessel and all provisions be fitted to
go away — of March next, and all men that are to go be ready
against that day." The foregoing shows that John Badcock
and his father were members of the Misquamicut Company
formed at Newport, and that they went from there to Mis-
quamicut (Westerly), wnth the first permanent settlers. At
that time he, John, was about eighteen years of age.
John Badcock received from the company an ap])ortionment
of land the same as other settlers. The Town Records of
Westerly show that in 1669 John Badcock was given the
twenty-seventh lot. It is certain that he settled in Westerly on
the banks of the Pawcatuck River, near what is now Avondale,
R. I., and that his oldest son, James, inhegted and occupied
the homestead. Some of the homestead land has never passed
from the ownership of the descendants of John, as the widow
of Ezra Babcock, son of Daniel and Nancy (Babcock) Bab-
cock, owns and occupies a house at Avondale, R. I., which, it
is claimed, stands upon the same lot on which John and Mary
(Lawton) Badcock built their first home.
The following is taken from Colonial Records of Rhode
^ Island, vol. ii, p. 238 : "The names of such as inhabit Mis-
quamicut, who have formerly presented their names to be made
free of the colony, doe now againe [present them] to this pres-
~\^ ent Assembly [that is, the Colonial Legislature] setting the
28th of Oct., 1668, and are admitted." Among the names are
James Badcock, Jr., John Badcock, and Job Badcock.
The Colony of Rhode Island, evidently fearing that Connect-
icut was alienating certain settlers of Westerly, "ordered by
the court, May 17, 1671, that the several inhabitants bee called
on to see how they stand as to their fidelity to his Majesties
and this Colony." (C. R. of R. I., vol. ii, p. 388.) Among
the twenty-two who appeared were James Badcock, Jr., and
Job Badcock. "James Badcock, Sr., and John Badcock, who

Job Badcock settled at Westerly. R. I. He owned a black-
smith shop and a grist mill on the Pawcatnck River. He was
made a freeman May 18, 1669. He took the oath of allegiance
May 17, 1 67 1, and again Sept. 17, 1679. He was elected Con-
stable of Westerly Oct., 1680, and Fel3. 15, 1693. His wife,
Jane, had a deed of one hundred acres of land made to her by
Samuel Lewis, and Job Babcock, husband of said Jane, de-
clared that he had given his wife full power to purchase the
land. May 24, 1703, he bought land of the Sachem Ninecraft
for £6. He deeded to his son Job, for love, etc., one hundred
and ten acres Oct. 31, 1706.
In 1678 Job and his wife were members of the S. D. B.
Church of Newport, and Westerly, R. T. ; Job Badcock, Indian
interpreter, 1680. (Newport Hist. Register, vol. vii, p. 39.)
Job Badcock with his brother John received verbally the will
of their father, James Badcock, June 12, 1679. (See copy of
will in Appendix.) By the will. Job received all his father's
"smith tools of what sort or kind he died possessed."
Job Babcock made his will Mar. 26, 1715; d. 1718; will

Job and Benjamin and to daughters Jane, Sarah, Mary, Eliza-
beth, and Mercy one shilling each ; ''to daughter Hannah a

my now dwelling house, grist mill, etc., and all that is due
after payment of debts and legacies."

Westerly had returned to their homes, the Colony of Rhode
Island must have resumed its jurisdiction over Westerly, for
John Badcock was elected, by the General Court of Rhode
Island, Conservator of the Peace for Westerly, June 12, 1678.
(C. R. of R. I., vol. iii, pp. 10-13.)
Sept. 17, 1679, "The inhabitants of Westerly being by war-
rant required to appear at this Court to give the oath of al-
legiance to his Majesty, and of fidelity to his Majesty's author-
ity, for this Colony," John Badcock and thirty-two others, in-
cluding his brothers James and Job, appeared and took the
oath. (C. R. of R. I., vol. iii, pp. 68, 69.) This event occurred
three months after the death of his father.
John Badcock was Deputy from Westerly to the Colonial
Legislature in 1682 and 1684. (C. R. of R. I., vol. iii, pp.
107, 150.) The exact date of his death has not been ascer-
tained, but it probably occurred in May or June, 1685. He
died intestate and a will disposing of his estate was made by
the Town Council, June 25, 1685. In the Appendix of this
volume can be found a copy of the will, also the inventory of
the personal property, dated June 4. 1685, which amounted to
£790 3s., and was the largest recorded in the town for many
years. By the law of primogeniture the oldest son, James, re-
ceived all the real estate, one half of which he conveyed by deed
to his mother, June 26, 1685. A copy of the deed will be found
in the Appendix.
By the will the widow received one third of the personal
property, the remaining two thirds being divided equally among
the nine younger children. Mary, the widow of John, was by
the Town Council, made executrix of the will, and guardian
of the minor children, which included all except James.
When the will of James Badcock, Sr., was written, June 12,
1679, the first syllable of the family name was written Bad,
and had been so written up to that time. Six years later, when
the will of John Babcock was made by the Town Council of
Westerly, June 26, 1685, the first syllable was spelled Bab, and
has been so spelled ever since.
Mary Babcock made an agreement December 26, 1689, with
John Fairfield and wife to maintain them in meat, drink, cloth-
ing, etc., they binding themselves to her in all their estate to
be entirely hers. (W. T. R., vol. ii, p. 129.) Dec. 26, 1696,
she deeded to her son George, for love, etc., one hundred and
six acres of land. (W. T. R.)

was her son James, blacksmith. To James's sons, Peter and
William, she gave two beds. To ''James's three sons, rest of
household stuff," and to her "son James the rest of her per-
sonal property." We have no record of the wife of James
Babcock.
James Babcock, Jr., was admitted a freeman Feb. 13, 1689-
90. He was chosen a constable for Westerly June 5, 1690;
same day chosen sergeant. (W. T. R.)

child of John and Mary (Lawton) Babcock (James ist),
b. Westerly, R. I., 1663 ( ?) ; d. there Jan. 17, 1736-7. He was
buried in the Babcock burj^ing ground at Massattixet, which is

upon the east side of the road, about midway between Westerly
and Watch Hill. His grave is covered by a horizontal tablet,
six feet long and four feet wide, and is al30ut three feet above
the surface of the ground. The inscription upon the tablet is
as follows: 'Tn memory of Capt. James Babcock, who died
January ye 17th, 1736, in ye year of his age. Having
been in his life of extensive charity and beneficence and not
wholly silent at his death." The year of his age has been, by
time or vandalism, completely obliterated.
John Babcock, father of Capt. James, when eighteen years
of age, went. Mar., 1662, to Westerly with the first company
of permanent settlers. (See records of John.)
Tradition says that James was the first white male child born
in Misquamicut (Westerly). Presuming this to be true, James
was no doubt born in 1662 or 1663. He m. (i) 1687 (?),
tradition says, Elizabeth Saunders, dau. of Tobias Saunders.
Another tradition savs her name was Elizabeth Babbit, dau.
of Erasmus Babbit. Upon her tombstone, which is near her
husband's grave, is inscribed the following: "Here lieth in-
terred ye body of Elizabeth, ye wife of Cap. James Babcock,
died March ye 3rd, 1 730-1, in the 69th year of her age." She
was probably a year or more older than her husband.
James m. (2) in Westerly, by Theodoty Rhodes, Justice,
July 7, 1 73 1, Content, eldest child of Jonathan and Content
(Rogers) Maxson, b. at Westerly Jan. 28, 1708-9. She was
in the twenty-third year of her age.
June 22, 1 73 1 (fifteen days before his second marriage), he
signed a "Covenant made and contracted betweene Capt. James
Babcock of Westerly yeoman, and Content Maxson daughter
to Jona. Maxson," viz. ; "I ye sd. Babcock do hereby covenant
with sd. Content that on condition shee doth take me as her
husband and doth outlive me I do oblige my heirs to pay her
within 3 years after my decease £100 currant Money in Lieu
of her right to her thirds. — On these terms Content is willing
and satisfied to be married." (W. T. R., 1719, p. 26.)
Content m. (2) Dec. 22, 1742, William Hiscox (widower),
son of Thomas and Bethia (Clark) Hiscox, by whom she had
four children.
Capt. James, being the eldest son, was by the English law of
primogeniture heir to all the real estate of his fither. "With a
devotion to his mother worthy of all praise," he surrendered
to his "loving and natural mother, Man,- Babcock," one half
of all the real estate left by his father, "to have and enjoy and
to dispose of as she shall see it meet during the time of her life
1 6 The Babcock Genealogy.
or after her decease, provided she shall dispose of it unto my
father's male children." The contract was dated June 26, 1685.
(W. T. R., book i, p. 65.) Copy of contract in Appendix.
In public records he is often referred to as "James, the
widow's son."
Apr. 22, 1686, he was made a freeman at Westerly. At a
town meeting held Mar. 28, 1692, land was voted to each of
twenty-five citizens, among whom were "J^"^^^ Babcock, the
widow's son," and Job Babcock. They received one hundred
acres each. In 1692 James united with the S. D. B. Church
of Newport and Westerly. When the Westerly branch (which
now exists as the First S. D. B. Church of Hopkinton) became
an independent body, in 1708, he was a constituent member
and continued a member until his death, as is shown by an item
in his will, as follows : "I give and bequeath unto the Church
of Christ in Westerly, unto which I belong, keeping ye Seventh
Day Sabbath, one hundred pounds in money, etc."
His title and rank of Captain came from his being commis-
sioned Captain of Militia in Westerly, R. I., date unknown but
prior to 1690.
Apr. I, 1698, Elihu, Robert, Joseph, and Oliver chose their
brother James Babcock to be their guardian. (W. T. R.)
This was twenty days before their mother m. Erasmus
Babbitt. xA.t the time of her first husband's death she was
appointed guardian to the minor children, which included all
the children except James, the eldest.
Apr. 5, 1698, James deeded land to his brother John (W.
T. R.) Mar. 11, 1699, James and John, "for brotherly love,"
etc., deeded to their brother Oliver "certain land commodious
and convenient to dwelling house, which was formerly our
father John Babcock's, and also land that was formerly our
father-in-law (i. e., stepfather) Erasmus Babbitt's, said land
to be Oliver's at decease of our mother, Mary Babbitt."
For many years Capt. James was Town Treasurer; was
Town Councilman 1690, '93, and '95; was often Moderator
at town meetings, and for the years 1701, '06, '07, '08, '09,
and '16 he represented Westerly in the Legislature of the
Colony of Rhode Island, held at Newport.
Nov. 4, 1704, James and John deeded certain lands to their
mother, Mary (Babcock) Babbitt. Oct. 10, 171 5, Capt. James
Babcock and his wife, Elizabeth, sold for £300 sterling two
hundred acres of land, bounded south by the salt pond and the
ocean and on the east by John Babcock's land.
In 17 1 5 the colony was desirous of establishing a credit

currency which shouhl circuhite as money, 'i'u this end the
Colonial Legislature, held at Newport, July 5, 1715, passed an
act providing for the loaning without interest to certain citi-
zens, in severalty, £30,000 in currency or bills of credit. On
Monday, Oct. 10, 171 5, Capt. James Babcock borrowed £300
of this currency, payable in five years. The security he gave
was a mortgage upon a certain two-hundred-acre tract of land.
This mortgage was paid off three years after his death by the
administrator of the estate, his son Joshua, who on Mar. 16,
1739, settled the claim by paying to the colony £60, twenty
per cent of the currency borrowed. The mortgage above re-
ferred to is a very long and carefully worded document, and is
recorded in Westerly Records, bfX)k i, pp. 168, 169. Among
the many who gave similar mortgages to the colony was George
Babcock, a brother of James. In 1717 he was Justice of Peace
for Westerly.
Feb. 7, 1 717-8, Thomas Clark and wife, Elizabeth, having
received "3 tracts of land by deed'' from Capt. James Babcock
(father of Elizabeth), "do thankfully acknowledge and except
the same in full of our portion of our father's estate." (W. T.
R., 1719, p. 130.)
Capt. James's last will, w^ritten Jan, 9, i7})()-y. eight days
before his death, was entered for probate Jan. 31, 1736-7. A
copy can be found in the Appendix to this volume. By his will
he gave to his children and grandchildren eight or ten farms,
comprising some two thousand acres of land, each farm care-
fully bounded. He provided that his infant son James should
receive a college education ; and also that in case his wife
should marry again the three younger children should be taken
from her and brought up by his executor, their half-brother
Joshua, Another clause provides that if the widow should
refuse to abide by the terms of the wmII her three children
should receive from his estate only twenty shillings each. The
family burying ground is reserved from his farm, "for a bury-
ing place of my relations and as many others as they shall see
cause to except of." No doubt his parents and grandparents
were buried upon the same grounds. It has been said of Capt.
James Babcock that he was as good as he was rich, a true
]ihilanthropist who lived for God and his fellow-men.

vol. iv.) He was Justice of the Peace for Westerly from 1730
to 1737. (Smith.)
May 19, 1 7 10, John Babcock and Robert Babcock with ten

20 The Babcock Gcncolo(^v
George Babcock's mark for his cattle was recorded in West-
erly, May, 1696. In December, of the same year he received
from his mother a deed of a tract of land in Westerly. Dec.
31, 1706, he resided in Kingston and sold land to his brother
James in Westerly. (W. T. R., book i.)
In June, 1707, he was baptized by Elder William Hiscox
and united with the S. D. B. Church of Newport and Westerly,
R. I., in which church for the rest of his life he was a promi-
nent member, and by his will left a legacy of £300 for his
church. A few weeks later, July 20, his wife joined the same
church. (S. D. B. Memorial.)
June 28, 1709, he with twenty-six others bought from the
Colony of Rhode Island a large tract of land in Kingston and
Westerly known as the "Shannock Purchase." His part of the
purchase was laid out in Westerly on the south side of Shan-
nock Hill and extended west to the Pawcttuck River, in what
was afterward Hopkinton and Richmond. His son Hezekiah
settled on the part in Hopkinton, and had at least eight hundred
acres. His son Elisha settled on the part tint was afterward
Richmond. In 171 5 George Babcock and others assisted in
circulating Rhode Island colonial money. See details in rec-
ords of Capt. James Babc(xk, a brother of George. He served
as Deputy to the Legislature in 17 16 and 1721.
He was for many years Justice of the Peace, and was often
called upon to perform marriage ceremonies. He and his wife
w^ere buried upon their ow-n farm in a plot formerly known as
the "Babcock Burying Ground." It is about five miles from
the Kingston R. R. Station, and is still used as a cemetery, is
inclosed by a neat iron fence. The farm was sold in 1799 by
Gideon Babcock, grandson of George and son of David, to
Joshua Tucker, and the cemetery is now known as the "Tucker
Burying Ground." Near by is a body of water formerly known
as Babcock's Pond, now called Tucker's Pond. The place was
visited in the summer of 1900 by the writer and his brother,
Mr. Nathan Babcock, of Westerly. The graves of George
Babcock and his w^fe were each covered with slate stone slabs
about five and one half feet long by two and one half feet wide
and five inches thick, lying horizontal, and on foundations so
that they w-ere about one foot from the ground. The letters
were much worn and overgrown with moss, but w^ere finally
read.
The two graves are side by side, about three feet apart, and
the stones differ only in their inscriptions. The writing upon
the husband's stone consists of eleven lines, as follows :

In Memory
OF MR. GEORGE BABCOCK,
WHO LIVED A PROFESSOR WITH
THE Seventh Day Baptist Church,
AND ALSO HIS WIFE AND EIGHT OF
THEIR Children Were Members
WITH HIM OF THE SaME ChURCH
BOATH IN FAITH AND PRACTICE.
He DEPARTED THIS LIFE MaY
THE 1ST, A. D. 1756, IN YE 83 YEAR
OF HIS Age.
A notice of the death of Mrs. Babcock, written from S.
Kingston, appeared in the Boston Evening- Post two weeks
after her death, Alay 24, 1762. Among other things it states
that "She has left 8 children, 61 grandchildren; in all 140
descendants, which whole number live in this colony except
one granddaughter, and her children."
A tradition often repeated states that soon after the mar-
riage of George and Elizabeth Hall Babcock he threw a long
rope over his dwelling house; he remained at one end of the
rope, while his wife, Elizabeth, went as requested to the other
side of the house and tried to pull the rope over, but without
success. George called out, "Pull, Betty, pull harder!" Again
she struggled, but with no better results than before. George
then called for her to come to him ; the two, taking hold of
the same end of the rope, easily pulled it over the house. The
lesson taught was that when husband and wife pull apart no
satisfactory results can be reached, but when both pull to-
gether ever}' thing is easy.
George Babcock by his will, dated Nov. 13. 1750, probated
and recorded in S. Kingston, R. I., May 10, 1756, gives away
a number of farms, a large amount of personal property, in-
cluding thousands of pounds in money.- To his wife he gave
various personal property, including "my negro gall Peg."
To his son David he gave the homestead farm, a negro man
named "Bristo," a negro woman named "Geney," and ap-
points David as executor of his will. No reference to his son
Jonathan is found in the will. (Will published in Appendix.)

12. Elihu^ Babcock, son of John and Mary (Lawton) Bab-
cock (James ist), b. about 1675. Tradition says his birth
occurred at the time of the "Swamp fight," Dec. 19, 1675,
King Phihp's War.
He was of Hmited mental capacity, which misfortune tradi-
tion also predicates upon the personal alarms his mother,
Mary, suffered from an accidental meeting with a hostile In-
dian the summer preceding his birth.
He was original in speech and manner. His remarks were
sometimes more emphatic than elegant. One summer day he
tied a brush harrow to a bull's tail and turned the animal
into a field of wheat. His riotous mirth as the enraged bull
ran through the ripening grain was a measure of his mind,
and the mischief done a fair exponent of his deeds.
The date of his death is not known, but he w^as living when
about seventy years of age.
Forty years after the death of his father, his six surviving
brothers, who always treated him w^ith kindness and respect,
entered into an agreement providing for his care and support.
This compact was signed at Westerly, "february the 2d day
in ye 12 year of the Regn of King George, Anno Domini,
1725-6," by his six brothers, James, John, Job, George, Jo-
seph, and (Oliver, and three witnesses, and was recorded upon
the town records of Westerly. The compact wnll be found in
the Appendix of this volume.
13. Robert^ Babcock, son of John and Mary (Lawton)
Babcock (James, ist), b. Westerly, 1678 (?); d. Aug.
2y, 1719; m. 1701, Lydia Crandall, dau. of Rev. Joseph
Crandall. Robert and his wife, Lydia, were in Sept., 1712,
members of the S. D. B. Church of Westerly. The church is
now known as the First Hopkinton S. D. B. Church, and is
at Ashaway, R. L Apr. 21, 1698, Roljert with his brothers
Elihu, Joseph, and Oliver chose their brother Capt. James as
guardian. About a year later. Mar. 4, 1699, Robert Babcock
was made a freeman. This shows that he was a minor in
1698, but had reached his majority in 1699; hence the above
date of his birth must be correct. He bought land in West-
The Bahcock Genealogy. 23
erly of Job Babcock, Jr.. Jan. 6, 1706-7, and in 1710 with
others bought from Rhode Island the Maxson Purchase. See
the biography of his brother John.
His will, which was dated Aug. 26, 17 19, proved Sept. 7,
1719 (W. T. R.), states: "Being very sick in body but of
perfect mind and memory, I give and bequeath all my per-
sonal property to beloved wife Lydia." He mentions by name
all his children except the youngest. Remember, who was born
six months after her father's death.
Robert Babcock's death was caused by a murderous assault
comm.itted by one John Ross, and his will was evidently writ-
ten upon his deathbed. The day following his death, Aug.
28, 1 719, Joseph Stanton, Justice of Westerly, wrote to Gov.
Cranston at Newport giving a report of the jury of inquest
on the body of Robert Babcock.
. The following is an exact copy of the letter, taken from the
original, which in Aug., 1900, was owned by Dr. George D.

On Nov. 25, 171 5, Oliver gave a mortgage on one hundred
and thirty acres of land for £100 currency, which he borrowed
from the Colony of Rhode Island, without interest. A month
earlier his brother James had borrowed £300 under similar
conditions, fully described in his biography.
Oliver was admitted a freeman May i, 17 16. fie w'as Dep-
uty from Westerly to the General Assembly in 1730, '34, 'T,y,
'38, '52. (C. R. of R. I., vol. V.) For a large part of his
life public records refer to him as "Col. Oliver Babcock." At
a meeting of the General Assembly held at Warwack, R. I.,
on the second Monday of Aug., 1735. Capt. Oliver Babcock
was appointed one of a committee "for creating a new harbor
in Westerly by turning the Pawcatuck River into the largest
salt pond along the Westerly shore, so that said pond would
become a very commodious and navigable harlx)r, and would
likewise be very convenient for the catching and making of
codfish." The proposed work was no doubt found to be im-
practicable, as it was never performed.
The same year he was a commissioner to lay out twenty
acres of land upon which to build an Indian meetinghouse in
W^esterly. W'as also one of the commissioners to build a
bridge across the Pawcatuck River at Westerly. (W. and W.,
P- 1 39-)
Mar. 19, 1757, Hopkinton was set off from Westerly, and
Col. Oliver Babcock's home was in the new town. He was
probably ninety years old at the time of his death in 1773.
Apr. 14, 1749, Oliver Babcock, of Westerly, conveyed lands
in Voluntown to John Dixon, of Stonington, Conn. Said land
was laid out to John Babcock, father of Col. Oliver, who w^as
one of the Connecticut volunteers in the Narragansett War.
Col. Oliver's will was dated Dec. 3, 1761, and was proved
and recorded in Hopkinton Nov. i, 1773. It mentions wife
Delx^rah, daughters Susanna Beebe and Mary Cobb, sons
Thomas, Nathan, Oliver, Simeon, Jose])h, John. He appoints
his sons Simeon, Oliver, John, and Joseph to be the executors
of his will.

1707, he was chosen "Rattemaker" (i. e., assessor). His
wife "Mary (Clark) Champlin was baptized, and under lay-
ing on of hands was admitted into the [S. D, B.] Church the
loth of the 5th month, 1708."
Jan. 18, 1 7 16, he made an agreement with Mary (Babcock)
Champlin (his mother), Capt. John Babcock, and Samuel
Clark, and their wives, in which he agreed to maintain his
mother as long as she pleased to live with him, to pay her
£200 dow'n and £10 annually, and make over to her two beds
and other household goods in lieu of her dower; also to pay
£100 to brother-in-law John Babcock and w^ife Mary, and

England, about 1599, came to America with his three sons,
Edward, Thomas, and Henry, and bought land in Milton,
Mass., July 13, 1654.
James and his wife, Sarah, settled upon a farm in that part
of Stonington, Conn., which is now Pendleton Hill, N. Ston-
ington. It was owned by his father. Capt. James Babcock,
and was afterward found to lie partly in Stonington and
partly in Voluntown. Much of the land was retained in the
family for more than a hundred and fifty years. James and
wife, Sarah, joined Stonington Church (Congregational),
Rev. James Noyes, pastor, Aug. 8, 1708, and left with others
to form the N. Stonington Church, 1727. Records of births,
deaths, and baptisms found on town and church records.
James d. in the forty-third year of his age, and was buried
on the farm, upon which he lived ; later his widow, children,
and grandchildren were buried near him. The burying ground
having become overgrown with bushes and briars, and being
in a desolate, neglected spot remote from the highway. Col.
Andrew J. Balxock, of Springfield, 111., and the writer, in the
fall of 1900, caused the graves of James and his wife, their
sons Oliver and Timothy, and their wives, to be removed to a
well-kept cemetery near the Pendleton Hill meetinghouse,
which was about a half mile from the original burying ground.
All of these bodies were found to be in a measure preserved,
although one of them had lain in the ground about one hun-
dred and seventy years. Ten years previous to this removal
the graves of Capt. Oliver Babcock, grandson of James and
Sarah, and that of Oliver's brother Joshua and wife had been
removed to the same cemetery, at Pendleton Hill.

Joshua Babcock graduated at Yale College in the class of
1724, and was the first graduate of this college from Rhode
Island. Soon after his graduation he began the study of medi-
cine and surgery in Boston, and about 1730 went to London
to attend the hospitals there. On his return he settled in
Westerly (being admitted a freeman of the colony Apr.
30, 1734), and for nearly twenty-five years practiced his
profession extensively. He also opened a retail country store,
which it is said did as much business as any like establish-
ment between Boston and New York, and thus increased his
already large estate. He represented his town in the Colonial
Legislature in the years 1740, '47, '49, '52, '58, '59, '72>^ '76,
and '78, serving repeatedly as Speaker.
He was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Colony
from May, 1747, to May, 1749, and from May, 1750, to May,
1764. In this capacity he pronounced the sentence of death
upon Thomas Carter for the murder of Jackson. He w^as one
of the original corporators of Brown University, in 1764, and
continued on the Board of Fellows until his death. He is
recorded in the History of the University as a Seventh Day
Baptist. He was connected with that Church early in life,
but later became a Unitarian in his religious belief.
The large and elegant mansion which he owned is still
standing (1903) upon Quarry Hill in the village of Westerly.
Benjamin Franklin, when on his official tours through the
country as Postmaster-General, frequently made Dr. Bab-
cock's house his resting place. Tradition says that the favorite
sport of the two men was catching blackfish from the ocean,
a few miles from Dr. Babcock's house, at a place then called
Noyes Rocks, now known as Weekapaug. The place is still
a favorite fishing ground.
Dr. Franklin established the first post office in the tow^n
in 1776, and appointed Dr. Babcock Postmaster. The re-
ceipts of the office for this year were £1 3^. Sd. Prior to the
Revolution the nearest post office w^as New London, Conn.,
twenty miles distant.
It is said that George Washington when passing between
New York and Boston stopped more than once at the home
of Dr. Joshua.
Before the Revolution Dr. Babcock was closely identified
with the colonists w'ho expressed dissatisfaction with the tyr-
anny of Great Britain and who demanded greater liberty for
the people. He was one of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence passed by the Legislature of Rhode Island more

than two months prior to July 4, 1776. (Arnold's Hist, of
R. I.)
In May, 1775, Joshua Babcock was appointed to carry pro-
ceedings of the Rhode Island Assembly to Connecticut. In
Nov., 1775, by Act of the General Assembly of Rhode Island,
he was appointed Major General of the Colony's forces. This
position he held until Dec, 1776, when he was appointed as
a member of the Council of War. He was reappointed to the
latter position in the years 1778 and 1779.
The Rhode Island records of Revolutionary times show that
no man was more active in the service of his country, or held
more responsible positions, than did Dr. Joshua Babcock. A
history of his remarkable career and merits would fill an in-
teresting volume.
His remains were buried near the graves of his parents in
the ancient Babcock burial ground of Westerly. A large and
finely sculptured tablet covers his grave. The inscription is
as follows :

Anne and her husband settled in Stonington about a mile
west of the village of Westerly, on land which she and her
brother Jonathan inherited from their father by his will. The
contract of division between Capt. Rhodes, his wife Ann, and
her brother Jonathan is dated July 9, 1759, and is found in
Stonington records.
Capt. Simon Rhodes, his wife, and four of their children
were baptized in the Stonington Congregational Church,
1761-69.

James, was but little more than two years old when his
father died. His father made ample provision for him in his
will. That instrument provided that Dr. Joshua (his half-
brother), the executor, should also Ije guardian to the minor
children : "My said Exec. Shall take my said son James when
he shall arrive at the age of five years & put him to school
& when he is qualified ye Enter ye College then to Enter
him into the college there to be educated until he be commis-
sioned twice according to custom."
This provision of the will was faithfully executed. "Son
James" graduated at Yale College, Class of 1752, at the age
of eighteen years. Later he was educated as a medical doc-
tor, studying with Dr. Joshua.
He was admitted a freeman in May, 1757. He represented
Westerly in the General Assembly in the years 1762, '64, 'yy,
'78. He was Major of the Kings County Militia Regiment
in 1764, '66, '68, and in '74 and '75 was its Lieutenant Col-
onel. He was a Baptist, and for many years prior to his death
was clerk of the so-called Hill Church in Westerly.
Prior to and during the Revolutionary War town meetings
were frequently, sometimes monthly, held in Westerly. Rec-
ords show that Col. James Babcock was a prominent factor in
all these meetings.
That the intense patriotism of its citizens was manifest is
proven by the fact that a Declaration of Independence was
passed by the Rhode Island Legislature, receiving the unan-
imous vote of the Upper House and fifty-four out of sixty in
the House of Deputies, two months before the passage of the
famous Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. Westerly
was then represented by Joseph Noyes and Joshua Babcock,
a brother of Col. James.
The following items were taken from town meeting reports :
At a town meeting of the inhabitants of Westerly held
Feb. 2, 1774 (which was the largest ever held in town), very
patriotic resolutions were adopted without a dissenting vote
expressing their sentiments regarding the manifest usurpation
and oppression of the colonies by the mother country.
Major James Babcock and his brother Joshua were two of
a committee of five appointed at this meeting "to correspond
with all other committees appointed by any town in this or
other colonies; and the committee is directed to give the

closest attention to evervthin"- which concerns the hberties of
America; and if any tea. subject to a duty, should be im-
ported into this town, or anything else attempted injurious to
liberty, the committee is directed and empowered to call a
special town meeting forthwith that such measures may be
taken as the public safety may require."
At a town meeting held Sept. 18, 1776, Col. Joseph Noyes
and Col. James Ba1x:ock were appointed a committee with
power "to purchase or impress into the service blankets, arms,
etc. The men were to be equip])ed as aforesaid, and supplied
with two days' rations, by 12 of the clock to-morrow\"
At a town meeting held Nov. 29. 1776, voted that Col.
James Babcock and Joseph Crandall be appointed to go to the
island of Rhode Island according to the Act of the General
Assembly.
June 3. 1777. Col. James Babccjck chosen Captain of the
Train of Artillery. (\V. and W.)
His will, dated Sept. 17, 1781, was offered for probate the
eighth of the following month, and was recorded in Westerly.
By its terms he disposed of his homestead farm in Westerly,
and of a farm in Stonington, which appears to have been
owned by his then living wife, Joanna. In order to provide
money for his debts and funeral charges, his will directs that
"my Negro man Humphrey, one of my best cows, my oxen,
horse, and sheep ... be sold." Among other legacies to his
wife, Joanna, he gave "my Negro woman Chloe and my best
cow."

Gov. Robert Hazzard. She was b. Dec. 7, 1732, d. Mar. 25,
1 83 1. Esther Hazzard's grandfather, Jonathan Nichols, was
Deputy Governor of Rhode Island at the time of his death,
"^ 1757- Her great-grandfather Nichols was Deputy Gov-
ernor when he died, 1727. Her great-great-grandparents,
Thomas and Hannah Nichols, emigrated from Wales to the
island of Barbados, and soon afterward, about 1650, they
emigrated to Rhode Island.
Jonathan Babcock was about three months old when his
father died. He graduated from Yale College in 1755, was
a Lieutenant in 1756. Hazzard Genealogy says he was a
Captain in the English army and distinguished himself in
the French and Indian War, and that he was with Gen.
Wolfe, under Gen. Amherst, at the taking of Louisburg, July
7. 1758-
Jared Star Babcock, of 2083 Fifth Avenue, a great-grand-
son of Jonathan, wrote (1902) that Jonathan was Lieutenant
Colonel at the siege of Louisburg, and that he has a copy of
Jonathan's commission as Lieutenant in the Provincial troops
raised to cooperate with the royal troops in the expedition
against Plattsburg, and that he has the diploma (A.B.) given
by Yale College to Jonathan in 1755.
Soon after the close of the war Jonathan with his family
removed to Boston, where he was engaged in business. He
was amply provided for by his father's will. Among other
legacies he received a two-thirds interest in a large farm about
a mile west of Westerly village. The farm was afterward
known as the Simon Rhodes farm. His half-brother, Dr.
Joshua Babcock, was his guardian.

Jan. 10, 1775. vStephen was made a freeman Feb., 1729-
30; was a Justice of the Peace 1735-38, and is often referred
to as Justice Stephen Babcock.
Records of the First Congregational Church of Stonington
show that he and his wife were members of that church before
they became members of Elder Parks Presbyterian Church
of Westerly, May 5, 1742. He was a deacon in the Elder
Parks Church.
About 1750 a religious sect known as the New Lights had
sprung up. Their doctrines seemed to have been embraced
by Stephen, as he withdrew from Elder Parks Church, was
rebaptized, and on Apr. 5, 1750, a meeting was held at his
house, at which "The Church of Christ in Stonington and
Vv'esterly in LInion" was organized and he was ordained its
. first pastor. This church remained a distinct organization for
nearly a hundred years, and wdien its members were finally
scattered many of them united with the Baptist Church, others
with the Christian Qiurch, in the village of Westerly.
In the early part of Elder Stephen's pastorate, a church
edifice was erected which was afterward known as the Bab-
cock Meetinghouse, as its first four pastors were Babcocks.
The house was standing in 1900, upon a high hill, not far
from "the Dr. Joshua Babcock house." It is often called "the
Hill Meetinghouse."
During his pastorate the New Light churches became very
numerous in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and parts of ]\Iassa-
chusetts. and Elder Stephen Babcock seems to have been one
of their most distinguished pastors. He continued to serve
his cIuutIi as pastor until his death, his service covering a
period of alx)ut twenty-five years. His son Elder Oliver suc-
ceeded him as pa.stor.

Denison, eldest child of Samuel and Mary (Minor) Denison,
b. Stonington, Conn., Jan. 6, 1710. She m. (2) Stephen
Chalker, or Chaucer, of Saybrook, Conn., and was his fouth
wife. Stephen Chalker's will, dated 1773, mentions daughter,
Mehitable Babcock, wife of Christopher Babcock, of Westerly.
John Babcock, William's father, held the office of Town
Clerk from William's boyhood until 1732, at which time he,
resigned, and William was elected to the office and continued
to hold the office until his death, about twenty years. He was
a farmer, and w^as a freeman in 1735. It is presumed he was
the William Babcock that represented Westerly in the General
Assembly of Rhode Island in the year 1744. He was a
Justice of the Peace.
The will of William Babcock, dated Jan. 4, 1750-51, eleven
days before his death, was proved and ordered recorded in
Westerly, Feb. 4, 1750-51. The will directs that the west
half of the farm be sold to pay debts and legacies. It also
states, "I give and l^equeath unto my dear and beloved wife
the use and profit of all the Remainder of my estate for the
bringing up of my small children, until my small sons be fit
to go to trades." To sons Joshua and Christopher he gives
"all the remaining part of my homestead farm, equally to be
devided between them." He gives to son Phineas when he

becomes of age £100, to be paid by son Joshua; also gives
£100 to son Samuel, when of age, to be paid by son Christo-
pher. He gives to son EHas "that Lott of land that was given
me by my uncle James Babcock." He gives legacies to daugh-
ters Sarah and Jklercy, also gives "a Silver Cane unto James
and Jonathan and Anne Babcock, the children of Capt. James
Babcock, deceased." This cane was doubtless the one that
William received by will from his uncle Capt. James Babcock.
Rev. Thomas Barber's mother, Eunice (Babcock) Barber,
from childhood lived with her grandparents, Christopher and
Mehitable (Chalker) Babcock. Elder Barber wrote: "Sarah
(Denison) Babcock and her second husband Stephen Chalker
lived upon her Westerly homestead farm until her eldest liv-
ing son Christopher had reached his majority, and had mar-
ried his stepsister Mehitable Chalker. Then the parents left
the Westerly farm and removed to Saybrook, taking with them
Sarah's two youngest living children, and remained in Say-
brook the rest of their earthly life. The young couple Christo-
pher and Mehitable from that time on owned and occupied the
Westerly homestead farm."

will mentions all the children except William. Had he been living
at that time his name no doubt would have been mentioned in his

The following history of Capt. George Denison, the great-
grandfather of Sarah Denison Babcock, was taken from His-
tory of Stonington, Conn., by Judge Richard A. Wheeler:
Capt. George Denison, youngest son of William Denison

and wife Margaret (Chandler) Monck, b. in England, bap-
tized at Stratford, England, Dec. 10, 1620, went with his
parents to New England 1631, and settled at Roxbury, Mass.
Later his parents d. there. In 1640 he m. at Roxbury Bridget
Thompson, daughter of John Thompson (gentleman of Cres-
ton, Northamptonshire, England), and wife Alice. Brid-
get was b. Sept. 11, 1622, d. 1643, leaving two daughters.
The same year after his wife's death Capt. George Denison
returned to England and for more than a year served in the
British Army. He was at the battle of York, or Marston
Moor, where he did good service and was afterward taken
prisoner. After his release he married a second wife, Miss
Ann Borodell, and with her returned to New England in the
year 1645, ^i^^l settled for a time at Roxbury, Mass. In 165 1
he removed with his family to New London, Conn. In 1652
the town of New London granted him two hundred acres of
land in the Pequot-se-pos valley, at Mystic, Conn., upon which
he subsequently built him a dwelling house (May 3, 1663, it
was raised), wherein he and his family made their permanent
home. The records of Massachusetts and Connecticut show
that Capt. George Denison was not only distinguished as a
civilian, but became, with the exception of Maj. John Mason,
the most distinguished soldier of Connecticut in her early
history. Capt. George Denison was Captain of New London
County forces in King Philip's War, and was with Capt. John
Mason, Jr., under Maj. Robert Treat, in the great Swamp
fight, Dec. 19, 1675. He also served the next year in command
of the forces raised by him as Provo-Marshal, and pursued
the remnant of the Narragansett and Wampanaug Indians,
and succeeded in defeating them and capturing the Indian
chief, Canonchet, who was brought to Stonington, and on his
refusal to make peace with the English was shot. He assisted
as ]\Tagistrate to enable the I^equot chiefs designated by the
English to control the remnants of the Pequots. He was as-
sistant and Deputy from Stonington to the General Court for
fifteen sessions. He d. at Hartford, Conn., Oct. 24, 1694,
and his widow d. Sept. 26, 17 12, aged ninety-seven years.
Their graves may be found in the Elm Grove Cemetery at
Mystic, Conn.
Admiral George Dewey, the hero of Manila, traces his an-
cestry to this Capt. George Denison the distinguished Indian
warrior.
By Capt. Denison's will, dated Nov. 20, 1693, he gave away
many hundred acres of land and much other property.
42 The Babcock Genealogy.
One legacy given his son, George, was one half of a tract
of one thousand acres of land nejir Norwich, which land was
given him, Capt. George, as a legacy by Joshua the son of
Uncas, the same time Mohegan sachem. The son George was
also given two Indian servants, a young man and woman,
together with a considerable stock of neat cattle, horses, sheep,
and swine. The will further states, "I give to my son John
my great sword and the gauntlet which I wore in the wars of
England ; I also give him a silver s^won of ten shillings,
marked 'G. and A.' I give to my son George twenty shillings
in silver or a cutlas or rapier."
Much property was given to his son William. One legacy
reads, "I give unto my son William Denison my rapier and
broad buff belt, and tin cartridge box, which I used in the
Indian wars, together with my long carbine, which belt and
sword I used in the same service." William was also given
two Indian servants as follows, "John, whom I bought of the
county, and his son Job, who was torn in my house."
To William was given five hundred acres of land, being
one half of an allotment at Windham, "which is a part of a
legacy given me by Joshua son of Uncas, the same time
sachem of Mohegan, as may more fully appear on the court
Records at New London."

1763; m. (i) Sarah Segar; ni. (2) Mar. 17, 1747, in S.
Kingston, Jemima Reynolds (A. V. R.). That Jemima after-
ward married John Sheldon is proved from the following
items of S. Kingston records: "May 20, 1775, John Babcock
(no doubt son of John deceased) bought of John Sheldon
and Jemima his wife (formerly the wife of John Ba1x:ock)
certain devises and bequests (under the will of her former
husband, said John Babcock), for 60 pds."
In 1 73 1 John Babcock received certain lands by deed from
his father. Job Babcock. By the will of Job Babcock, proved
Feb. 10, 1755, certain lands were conveyed to son John who
was named as executor to the \\\\\.
John Babcock bought of Job and Deborah Babcock (pre-
sumal>ly his parents) one hundred and sixty acres Mar. 28,
1733. John Babcock quitclaimed to brother Job certain
lands June 17, 1741. John Babcock and Sarah, his wife, sold
to Nathan Tanner one hundred and sixty acres June 30. 1741.
S. Kingston records show that in 1761 John Babcock deeded
land in S. Kingston to his sons, John, Samuel, Jonathan,
Gideon, and Joseph. By his will, dated Oct. 13, 1763, pro-
bated Nov. 4, 1763, son John executor and residuary legatee,
he gives to his wife, Jemima. £1,000, old tenor, and certain
other legacies, including use of parts of dwelling house for her
use and "my small children." He also gives legacies to his
son Jonathan, John, Gideon, Joseph, and Ichabod, and refers
to land that formerly belonged to "my son Samuel, deceased."
He gives legacies to his daughter Sarah Langworthy and
her daughter Mary, to his grandsons Benjamin Langworthy
and John Babcock, to his granddaughters Elizabeth and Sarah.
From the foregoing it appears that by his first wife he had
five children, as follows (dates of birth unknown) :
lOi John," b. 1740 (?); m. Mehitable Sheldon.
102 Jonathan, b. ; m. Amey Clarke.
Samuel, died prior to date of will.

Mar. 13, 1735-6, he bought for £300, of John Gallup and
John Dixon, the west half of the farm previously deeded to
him by his grandfather, a survey having shown that part of
the farm lay in Voluntown, hence Capt. James had no good
title to it.
Feb. 25, 1760, Nathaniel Babcock conveyed to his son Na-
thaniel, Jr., "the east part of the land the granter now lives
on, in Voluntown, bounded on the south by Stonington land."
The second Thursday of Oct., 1772, the General Assembly
of Connecticut authorized Nathaniel Babcock and Sarah Bab-
cock, joint administrators of the estate of the late Capt. Na-
thaniel Babcock, to sell forty and one half acres of land. Mar.
25, 1773, the land was sold to Elias Babcock. The following
day Elias Babcock sold the same land to Nathaniel Babcock, Jr.
Nathaniel was commissioned Ensign in Connecticut Mili-
tia in 1740, Captain 1750, by the General Assembly of Con-
necticut. (Book 1735-43, p. 291, C. R. of Conn.)

ton Church June 5, 1738, and later he belonged to a religious
sect known as the Separatists. Between 1750 and 1775 there
were many Separatist churches in Rhode Island, Connecticut,
and in central and western Massachusetts.
The following clause is quoted from the will of his grand-
father, Capt. James Babcock : "My Will is that in case my
grandson Elias Babcock shall loose his land (that I give him
by Deed of Gift) by ye Voluntown men, then I give him the
one half of the 240 acres to be Equally Divided Between him
and Isiah, to them, their heirs & assigns forever."
In 1775 Elias removed with his family to N. Canaan, Conn.,
where he and wife spent the remainder of their lives. They
had eight children, four of whom died in infancy and four
lived to adult age.
Rev. Rufus Babcock, D.D., b. 1798, d. 1875, was a grand-
son of the above-mentioned Elias. He ga.\e much time and
attention to collecting Babcock genealogy. The writer met
and received from him, in 1870. certain Babcock records. Af-
ter Dr. Babcock's death his son-in-law, the Hon. Horatio
Gates Jones, of Philadelphia (since deceased), prepared for
the writer, from the records and papers of Dr. Babcock, a
large part of the records of the descendants of Elias Babcock,
found in this volume. We believe these records to be correct.

farm close by the farms of their brothers in N. Stonington,
as the will of her grandfather, Capt. James Babcock, mentions
land in N. Stonington that he had sold "unto my grandson
in law Davidson." No record of their children is found.

b. 1687, was son of John and Abigail ( Cheesebrough ) Avery.
John, b. 1654, was son of Capt. James Avery, b. England
1620, came to America with his father, Christopher Avery,
and settled at Poquonoc, in the town of Groton, Conn., where
he owned a large tract of land. He was very celebrated both
in civil and military life. In King Philip's War he com-
manded a company of friendly Indians. A monument erected
to his memory by the Avery family stands upon the site of his
former dwelling house. It is near the Stonington R. R., sev-
eral miles east of New London. Conn.
These records were taken from Wheeler's Hist, of Stoning-
ton, which contains an extended account of the family.
From Mr. Elroy Avery, of 657 Woodland Hills Avenue,
Cleveland, O., we learn that nine of the brothers and half
brothers of Anna Avery were in colonial military service be-
fore or in the Revolutionary War, or both, and that four of
them died in service.
Oliver Bal3cock and his wife, Anna, were buried in
the "Babcock Burying Ground," Pendleton Hill. His grave-
stone is marked as follows: "In memory of Oliver Bab-
cock, who died Sept. 25, 1771, age 51 yrs." Later the

remains of Oliver and his wife were removed to the
Pendleton Hill Cemetery. For details of removal, see records
of James Babcock, Jr., father of Oliver.
The will of Capt. James Babcock, of Westerly, provided
that his grandsons Oliver and Timothy were to have the home-
stead farm at the death of their mother Sarah (Vose) Bab-
cock, "to be divided equally between them for quantity and
quality."
Oliver built his house about eighty rods south of the old
homestead, on the land inherited from his grandfather.
July 6, 1 77 1, he bought of Solomon Avery, for £100, one
hundred and fifty acres of land in Voluntown, "bounded on
the south by the Stonington line and on the east by Oliver
Babcock's land."
Feb. 27, 1770, Job Babcock conveyed sixty acres of land to
Oliver Babcock of Stonington for £75. and Mar. 12, 1771,
Oliver sold the said land to Rev. Wait Palmer for £80.
Mar. 3, 1 74 1, Oliver and Anna Babcock were baptized by
Joseph Fish. Pastor, and joined the N. Stonington Congrega-
tional Church.
Oliver and Anna had twelve children, three of whom, viz.,
Rufus, Charles, and Elias, d. young.

Timothy owned and occupied the old homestead. By the
will of his grandfather, Capt. James Babcock, the homestead
farm was to be divided e(jually, "for quantity and quality,"
between Oliver and Timothy at the death of their mother,
Sarah (Vose) Babcock.
Dec. 20, 1746, Timothy received by deed from his mother
fifty acres of land in Voluntown, bounded on the south by
Nathaniel Babcock's land and otherwise carefully bounded on
all sides. This may have been a part of the homestead which
was to be hers during life. Feb. 11, 1753, she deeded to her
son Timothy "in consideration of ye sum or annual payments
of £85 old tenor," a "parcel of land," etc. There is no doubt
58 The Babcock Genealogy.
that this deed conveyed that part of the homestead farm which
by the will of Capt. James was hers during life and at her
death was to be Timothy's.
Timothy was a farmer and a merchant, having a country
store adjoining his house. The house stood partly in Volun-
town and partly in N. Stonington. It was destroyed by fire
in 1880, was rebuilt, and was again destroyed by fire in 1901.
His will bears date Mar. 3, 1776, nineteen years prior to
his death. It provides that his wife shall have the use of the
property during her life, or until she should again marry. His
five girls and four boys are mentioned in this will. His eldest
son, Timothy, is named as sole executor.
Children :
Lois, b. Apr. 18, 1746; m. Oliver Clark, Jan. 7, 1797. Oliver Clark

Babcock. This occurred two days after the death of Timothy.
The year following, June 16, Vose Palmer and wife. Desire, con-
veyed the property bought of John, to Amos Crandall, of Volun-

Babcock, conveyed any interest which he might have in his
father's property, to Stanton Campbell, his brother-in-law, for
£30, and on Feb. i, 1796, Stanton Campbell conveyed this interest,
which the deed reads was "one fourth of the whole real estate
Timothy Babcock died possessed of," to Amos Crandall for £30.

office solemnized marriages. He represented Westerly in the
Colonial Legislature in 1753, '54, '56; represented Hopkinton
at its incorporation in 1757, also in 1758 and 1766.
He was one of the original incorporators of Brown Univer-
sity, was ordained an elder of what is now the First S. D. B.
Church of Hopkinton, Alay, 1768. For the last twenty-five
years of his life he was pastor of that church. During his
ministry three hundred and ninety-five members were added
to the church.
His remains were interred in the Clark burying ground,
which is on the west bank of the Pawcatuck River a half mile
above the "meetinghouse" bridge. His remains were after-
ward removed and reinterred in the First Hopkinton Ceme-
tery upon the spot formerly occupied by the "meetinghouse"
in which he so long preached. His name is recorded upon

Col. Nathan Babcock represented Westerly in the Rhode
Island General Assembly 1 760-1. He was appointed by the
General Assembly in May, 1761, Colonel of Kings County
Regiment of Militia. (C. R. of R. I., vol. vi.) He was Jus-
tice of the Peace in 1755.
The town of Westerly, Feb. 12, 1776, voted that "the tw'O
field pieces ordered by the General Assembly to be deposited
in this town be stationed near the sea on the land of Nathan
Babcock, 2d Esq., and to be used on any sudden invasion as
need requires."
June 3, 1777, Nathan Babcock was appointed one of a com-
mittee of three to secure materials for an "Amunition Cart."
It is noticed that Oliver Babcock, youngest son of John and
Mary (Lawton) Babcock had a son Nathan, b. Oct. 12, 171 5.
It is possible that some of the records above given apply to him.

On Oct. 2, 1777, three boats, each containing seven men,
were fitted out in Westerly to join Sullivan's expedition on
the island of Rhode Island. In passing Point Judith in the
night, when the sea was very rough, two of the boats were
capsized, and of the fourteen men thrown into the sea eight
were drowned. So far as known, their names were William
Babcock, Nathan Babcock, Nathan Babcock, Joseph Hall, Zeb-
ulon Pendleton, Isaac Pendleton, and Bigelow. The first
two, William and Nathan Babcock, were the eldest sons of
Samuel, Jr., and Mary Smith Babcock. Their third son, Paul,
was amonsf the number thrown into the sea but was rescued.
The second Nathan drowned was son of Col. Nathan. West-
erly and Its Witnesses, by Dennison, contains an interesting
account of the accident.

nah Babcock Captain. Elkanah was the third pastor (all

clined to the theory of Universalism. After his return from
a Western trip, he again preached his early faith.
Both Elder Elkanah and his wife Esther were buried in

Henry Babcock entered Yale College when he was twelve
years old, and was graduated at the head of his class in 1752,
at the age of sixteen. Records show that Oct. 14, 1751, he
was bap. and united with the First Baptist Church in Boston.
In 1788 he united with the First Ecclesiastical Society of Ston-
ington, by letter from the First Baptist Church of Boston.
In 1755 he was Captain of a Westerly company raised to
join the British forces against the French at Crown Point ;
served in Col. Harris's Regiment. In 1756 he was Major;
1757, Lieutenant Colonel. In 1758 he was Colonel of a Rhode
Island Regiment of one thousand men, which marched against
the French at Ticonderoga. In the engagement one hundred
and ten of his men were killed or wounded, and he was
wounded in the knee by a musket l)all. In 1759 he served un-
der Gen. Amherst, by w'hom he was publicly thanked, in the
taking of Ticonderoga without the loss of a man. He had

then served with (hstinguished honors in five campaig-ns
a<iainst the French. {\\\ extended account of his military
career can be found in the C. R. of R. I.)
In 1 76 1 he visited England, where he was treated with great
respect. He was introduced to the Queen, and it is said that
instead of kissing- her hand, as was the custom of people in his
rank, he boldly kissed her cheek, remarking that such was the
"mark of politeness in America." The correctness of this
statement is doubted. A portion of the time while there he
served as an engineer at the Woolwich Arsenal, and the train-
ing gained there pro\ed of great service to him in the War
of the Revolution.
Soon after his return to America he married, settled upon
his farm in the town of Stonington, upon the Pawcatuck
River, a mile below the village of Westerly, R. I., and com-
menced the practice of law. When the struggle against the
mother country commenced, he was a stanch patriot. He was
appointed by the Rhode Island Legislature commander of the
forces at Newport. Here he displayed the skill acquired at
Woolwich, England. On an open beach he, by his own firing,
with an eighteen-pounder, drove off a British man-of-war.
In 1777 he had a severe fit of sickness which so affected his
mind that he never entirely recovered.
It is said that "Col. Henry Babcock was a man of fine
physique, accomplished manners, commanding voice, and an
eloquent speaker."
He died Oct. 7, 1800, and was buried in the family burying
ground on his own farm. The writer in 1900 visited the
grave. The well-kept burying ground, surrounded by a hand-
some wall, is near the west bank of the Pawcatuck River,
about a mile below the village of Westerly, and near the Clark
thread mills. In this cemetery are the graves of Col. Bab-
cock. his wife, and many of their descendants.

and wife were buried at Norwalk, Conn. Grace was a cousin

Luke Babcock graduated at Yale College, class of 1755. In
1774 King's College, New York City, conferred upon him the
degree of A.M. He was ordained an Ej^iscopal clergyman by
the Bishop of London, England, and appointed to a mission
in Westchester, N. Y.
While his father and brothers were stanch patriots, Rev.
Luke at the breaking out of the War of the Revolution was
an ardent supporter of the king and the Church of England.
In Apr., 1775, a large number of Loyalists assembled at White
Plains and adopted the following Protest : "We the subscrib-
ers, freeholders and inhabitants of Westchester, having as-
sembled at the White Plains in consequence of certain adver-
tisements, do now declare that we met here to declare our
honest abhorrence of all unlawful congresses and committees,
and that we are determined, at the hazard of our lives and
properties, to support the King and Constitution ; and that
we acknowledge no Representatives but the General Assembly,
to whose wisdom and integrity we submit the guardianship
of our rights, liberties, and privileges."
The fourth name affixed to this document was that of Rev.
Luke Babcock, while the third was that of Rev. Samuel Sea-
buiy, afterward Bishop Seabury, the first Bishop of the Epis-
copal Church in the United States.
The allegiance of the Rev. Messrs. Seabury and Babcock to
the king of Great Britain was so offensive to the Whigs that
a party from Hartford and New Haven, Oct., 1776, seized
the two gentlemen, probably at their homes in Westchester
County.. Mr. Seabury was lodged in jail in New Haven, but
soon afterward was liberated by Gov. Trumbull, of Connecti-
cut. Mr. Balxock was imprisoned in Hartford. Why Gov.
Trumbull did not liberate him does not appear. He remained
in prison at Hartford until the following Eebruary, when his
health failed and he was ordered to remove within the lines
of the British army. "He reached his home in Phillipsburg,
N. Y., in a raging fever and delirious, and died Feb. 18, 1777,
in the thirty-ninth year of his age. His remains were de-
posited in the family vault of the Van Cortlands." Bishop
Seabury said, "I know not a more excellent man."

years; m. (2) Mar. 23, 1779, Martha Hubbard, dau. of

ton, 1837 (?). (Some of the records of births, marriages,
and deaths in this family were taken from a work written by
Albert Wells.)
Adam Babcock seems to have settled first in New Haven,
where he was a merchant and an extensive ship owner, and
during the Revolutionary War owned and fitted out one or
more privateers. Wells says that for nine years he lived in
Calcutta ; later in life he settled in Boston, where he d. He
and his brother Harry were as zealous in the cause of the colo-
nies as their brother Luke was ardent in the cause of the king.
From official records of Connecticut in the War of the Rev-
olution the following is gathered :
Adam Babcock with others signed notes amounting to £810,
the money to be used for fitting out an expedition against
Ticonderoga, but in the meantime the fort was taken by Col.
Ethan Allen. The money was afterward refunded by the
General Assembly of Rhode Island.
Dec. 14. 1775, the General Assembly of Connecticut, held
at New Haven, gave Adam Babcock, of New Haven, permis-
sion to export five thousand pounds of cheese to North Caro-
lina to defray the expense of a voyage there, to recover his
debt for the sale of a brigantine there sold, provided he should
procure a quantity of rice for the use of the army.
Apr. 29, 1776, the Council of Safety or Committee of War
permitted Adam Babcock to purchase two hundred pounds of
gunpower for his privateer then fitting out, and Col. Fitch was
authorized, if necessary, to lend Mr. Babcock powder from the
colony's stores.
May, 1776, Adam Babcock and others were licensed to erect
a powder mill at New Haven.
Oct. 22, 1776, "Adam Babcock & Co. were permitted to ex-
port to Rhode Island 60 barrels of salt beef for their
privateer."

"Voted to sell Adam IJaljcock & Co. two cannons and car-
riages taken on Ijoard ship Guineamon, and brought in by
Capt. Harding to New London."
In session Apr. 22, 1777, Adam Babcock was allowed to
purchase of Col. Porter ten four-pound cannons and six swiv-
els w^ith shot for them. June 13, 1777, he was directed to
receive at Bedford, in Massachusetts, fifty barrels of pork and
beef, property of the State of Connecticut, for the ship Fanny,
in return for articles furnished several privateers of Con-
necticut. June I, 1777, Adam Babcock furnished the State of
Connecticut for the use oi the Continental liattalions eight
bales of woolen cloth, and two bales of blankets, also sixteen
bales woolen cloth to be transported to the clothier general.
In 1777 he sold to Rhode Island cloth for six hundred suits
of clothes for Continental soldiers. (C. R. of R. I., vol. viii.)
Adam Babcock, of New Haven, was the original complain-
ant in the celebrated "Leather breeches suit" against Phineas
Stanton, Jr., of Stonington. The breeches in controversy w^ere
worth thirteen shillings. This suit and others growing from
it were continued in the courts for nine years. The final
result was in favor of Stanton, who said the case had cost
him $2,000 more than he received. A pamphlet, consisting of
168 pages, descriptive of the case was published. (Stanton

Li early life Capt. Saltonstall made numerous voyages in
mercantile pursuits. In the Revolutionary War he attained
the rank of Commodore. We first find him in command of
the ship Trumbull, twenty-eight guns. Apr. 19, 1777, he fell
in with two armed transports off New York. After a smart
action he captured both the transports, with their stores of
value on board. Jn this affair the English suffered severely,
and the Trumbull herself lost seven men and eight wounded.
In 1779 his ship was the Warren, thirty-two guns.
The same year he had command of the American fleet in
the disastrous Penobscot expedition. The unfortunate issue of
that expedition was attributed to unforeseen obstacles and the
insufficiency of the force, and not to any want of skill or
bravery in the commander. He was, however, blamed for the
disaster. He afterward commanded the privateer Minerva,
and among the prizes taken was the Hannah, a merchant ship
of London bound for New York, having- the most valuable
cargo sent to America during the war.

Robert Rogers graduated from Rhode Island College, after-
ward Brown University, in 1775; ser\'ed as Second and. First
Lieutenant in the Continental army until the close of the War
of Independence, and then adopted teaching as a profession,
first in Coventry and afterward in his native town, Newport,
R. I. He was noted as being one of the foremost educators
of his time; was a Fellow and Trustee of Rhode Island Col-
lege (Brown University) for many years, and was Secretary,
Treasurer, and Librarian of Redwood Library, Newport, from
1788 to his death, in 1835. His son, William Sandford Rog-
ers, became wealthy, and by his will, probated in 1870, be-
queathed $50,000 to Brown University to found the Newport
Rogers Professorship of Chemistry, in honor of his father and
uncle William Rogers, Jr., both of whom were graduates of
Brown University.

Simon Babcock was a soldier in the war of the Revolution,
enlisted as a private in Capt. Samuel Prentice's Stonington
Company of Col. Parsons's 6th Connecticut Continental
Regiment. The regiment took post at Roxbury, Mass., in
Gen. Spencer's Brigade, and remained until the expiration of

ton ; reported discharged at Charlestown, R. I.
He was a Revolutionary Pensioner under the Act of Con-
gress of 1832; was then a resident of Columbia, Tolland
County, Conn. Under the census of 1840, he is recorded as a

Rodman. Tradition says that a gentleman who had been a
great traveler, was asked, "What is the most beautiful sight
you have ever seen in your travels ?" and his answer was, "The
six beautiful daughters of Benjamin Rodman." They were
not only beautiful in person, but were gifted with good voices
and sang delightfully. Jonathan belonged to the Society of
Friends.

He was made a freeman in 1757. (C. R. of R. I., vol. ix.)
He was Justice of the Peace for Westerly in 1761, '62, '65.
(Smith.) He was cornet in Capt. George Thurston's Com-
pany in ist Battalion of Militia in the County of Kings, R. I.,
troop of horse in 1780.
During the Revolutionary War, May, 1777, Ichabod was
paid £2 14s. "for carrying express from Westerly to Little
Rest Hill in S. Kingston, and from there to Providence."
Records dated Oct., 1778, show^ that Ichabod Babcock, Jr.,
Nathan Babcock, and six others represented to the Rhode
Island Colonial Legislature that their boats were taken, Oct.,
1777, by Gen. Cornell, of the United States Army for the
intended expedition against the enemy on the island of Rhode
Island, that the boats were lost off Point Judith, and that "their
families depended chiefly on the advantages accruing from
their use in fishing." It was voted by the Legislature that a
committee consisting of Brig.-Gen. Cornell, Col. Parsons Grey,
and Maj. Thomas Sheffield be appointed to ascertain the
amount to be paid to each for damages sustained. Dec, 1778,
Ichabod and Nathan Babcock were each allowed £40 for the
loss of their boats. (C. R. of R. I., vol. viii.)

Rev. Oliver Babcock was a man of uncommon ability and
unflinching integrity. He stood high in the community, both
as a minister of the Gospel and a statesman. In 1768-9 lie
was Captain in the Westerly Militia.
In 1770 he represented Westerly in the Colonial Legisla-
ture. In 1776 he was Justice of the Peace for Westerly. At
the death of his father, Rev. Stephen, Oliver was called to
succeed him as pastor of the Hill Church, being ordained to
that office Sept. 18, 1776, which position he continued to hold
until his death.
It will be observed that his pastorate covered the period of
the Revolutionary War. He was not only beloved by the mem-
bers of his church, but his encouragement and aid of patriot
soldiers and his untiring efforts on behalf of their widows and
orphans, endeared him to all. He d. in the forty-sixth year
of his age. He had a family of eight children. "His widow,
Sylvia Babcock, was so eminent for piety and ability as to win
the appellation of 'Elder Sylvia.' She supplied the pulpit,
zealously cared for the church, which often met at her house,
until a successor to her husband was chosen." (W. and W. )
She was succeeded by Elkanah Babcock, who was ordained
Apr. 18, 1787, and whose records are found on a previous page
in this volume.
Rev. T. Barber says Elder Elkanah was succeeded by Elder
Jesse Babcock, making four Babcocks in succession that were

pastors of the Ilill Church exchisive of the service of Elder
Sylvia.
Dennisoii. in Westerly and Its Witnesses, says: "Eld.
Jesse Babcock was ordained an evangelist in 1802. He died
]\Iay 26, 1844, aged seventy-six. He was the last pastor of
the Wilcox Chnrch."

the grave of his wife Mehitable, in Westerly.
Christopher, m. 1754, his stepsister Mehitable Chalker
(sometimes written Chaucer, or Chalkens), b. in Saybrook,

taken from g-ravestone) . She was buried in the Babcock or
]\Iassattixet burying ground near Avondale, R. I. About 1884
her remains, with those of her son Stephen and his wife,
Phebe, were removed from the neglected spot where they were
first buried, to the First Hopkinton Cemetery, near Potter Hill,
R. I. This removal was directed by Phebe Babcock, grand-
daughter of Mehitable, dau. of Stephen and wife of Oliver
Babcock. Phebe's remains were afterward interred in the
adjoining lot.
The father of ]\Iehitable (Chalker) Babcock was Stephen
Chalker, b. Saybrook, Conn., July 19, 1707. He was of the
fourth generation from Gen. Alexander Chalker, who was one
of the original proprietors of the town of Saybrook, Conn., and
was killed in the Narragansett War. (Chapman Genealogy.)

(Mull) Babccxk (Job, John, James 1st), b. Westerly,
R. I., 1720 ( ?) ; m. 1745 ( ?), Miss Alaraw, "a notable young
Irish lady."
As the name of Josiah does not appear in his father's will,
it is probable he was not living when the will was written, and
that he d. between 1769, the date of birth of his youngest child,
and 1775, the date of probate of his father's will. Family
records from two different sources state that Josiah was the
eldest S(^n of Job, Jr. In 1742 Josiah removed from Rhode
Island to Mansfield, Conn.

In 1777 Newport was in the hands of the British, and the
Gaines Weekly Mercury, published Apr. 14, 1777, was, as will
be seen from the following, controlled by the British or Tories :
"Last Thursday a party of rebels, under the command of
one George Babcock, came into the house of Mr. Charles Slo-
cumb, at North Kingston, R. I. His son, coming to the door,
was immediately collared by one of the banditti. Young Slo-
cumb clenched with him, and would soon have made him re-
pent his rashness, had it not been for the interference of the
rest of the gang. His father, seeing the scuffle, came out of
the house to interfere in behalf of his son, when the infamous
Babcock discharged a pistol at him. The ball entered a little
below the heart and he died in al)out three hours. Not content
with the misery they had already occasioned to this unhappy
family, they took both his sons, and dragged them before their
Assembly, who in their clemency permitted them to return
under a strong guard to attend the funeral of their murdered
father. The mourning relatives were accordingly escorted to
the grave by this unfeeling clan, who immediately on their
return home carried both the young men to Providence jail.
This unparalleled barbarity is said to be occasioned by the
information of some villain that has escaped from Newport.

''Every breast siisccptil)le of the miseries of its fellow-crea-
tures must feel for this unhappy family — a husband murdered,
a number of orphans deprived of him to whom they were wont
to look up for support ; and, to complete the tragic scene, two
sons, whose presence at home might in some measure have
alleviated the loss of their parent, are likewise torn from their
wi\'es, expecting soon to share the same cruel fate. And all
of this performed by men who have decorated their standard
W'ith the specious names of Liberty and Justice."

Moses Hendricks, Berlin, same county.
After the Revolution Reuben returned to Stonington or Vol-
untown, for the following record is found: "Reuben Babcock,
of Voluntown. conveyed to Anna Langworthy, of Stonington,
for twenty-five pounds, land lying- partly in Voluntown and
partly in Stonington."
Sept. 20, 1783, he conveyed to Anna Langworthy for £30
his whole right, title, and interest in his part, as he said, "of
my honored mother's thirds in the real estate of my honored
father, Capt. Nathaniel Babcock, as set off by the probate
court of Plainfield, Ct." In the same sale he conveyed the
whole of the share of said thirds "which I bought of Mr. Ste-
phen Hull, Jr., and Comfort Hull, his wife, being one fifth
part of said thirds of the real estate of my said father lying in
three lots containing by estimation 25 acres."
Reuben Babcock left Stonington Oct. 16, 1786, and came
to New York State. After marriage he bought a farm near
Petersburg, N. Y., and Nov., 1796, purchased another in that
part of Sandlake now called E. Poestenkill, where he lived the

During the Revolutionary War Rufus was called out to
serve several times, as a soldier, and was in the company of
his father-in-law. In 1783 he was bap. by Rev. Joshua Moses,
and joined the Baptist Church in Sandisfield, Mass., by which
church some years later he was licensed to pre:ich. He gath-
ered a Baptist Church in North Colebrook, Conn., and in 1794
was ordained as its pastor, being the first minister in that town.
He served this church until he was seventy-three years old,
with good success, about five hundred members having been
added to it during his pastorate. After his resignation he con-
tinued tu preach to that church and in vacant parishes, but
refused to become a pastor. One who knew him well said :
•'Without anv oreat advantages of earlv culture, without
fluency of speech or any of the graces of an orator, he had such
native soundness and vigor of mind coupled with good sense
ruid industry that he was highly and deservedly esteemed, not
only in his own communion but by intelligent and learned min-
isters of other denominations."
His autobiography is in the Baptist Memorial, \n\. i. ]).

He was in the Continental Army in the War of the Revolu-
tion. His first commission was that of Ensign, May i, 1775,
in Capt. Samuel Parsons's Company of Stonington in Col.
Parsons's 6th Connecticut Continental Regiment. He was on
duty with his regiment at New London, Conn., until June 17,
1775, when they were ordered by the Governor's Counsel to
the Boston camps. There the regiment took post at Roxbury
Heights in Gen. Spencer's Brigade and remained until the ex-
piration of service, Dec. 10. 1775. In the meantime he was
promoted from Ensign to First Lieutenant, commissioned July
I, 1775. He reentered the army Jan. i, 1776, as Eirst Lieu-
tenant in Col. Samuel Parsons's Continental Regiment as re-
organized for 1776. He served with his regiment at the siege
of Boston in the winter of 1776, after which the loth Regi-
ment marched under Washington to New London, where by
vessels they proceeded to New York. They continued in the
vicinity of New York from Apr. till the close of the year; as-
sisted in fortifying the city; ordered Aug. 24, 1776, to the
lines around Brooklyn; engaged in the battle of Long Island,
Aug. 27, and in the retreat from Long Island, Aug. 29, 1776.
He was detailed to Lieut. -Col. Thomas Knowltoii's Rangers
in Sept., 1776. He was taken prisoner by the British at the
battle of Fort Washinglon on the Fludson, Nov. 16, 1776.
Tradition says he was greatly opposed to the surrender of the
fort, and that he broke his sword across a cannon, declaring
that it should never be surrendered to the hated British. While
a prisoner he was confined in the British prison ship Glascow.
He was exchanged and left New York early in Jan., 1777.

The followin.G^ appeared in the Connecticut Gazette of Fel).
14, 1777 : "On the J5th of Jan., 1777. (hed Lieut. Ohver Bab-
cock, of Stonington, in the thirty-sixth year of his age. He
returned home from imprisonment in New York on the eighth
of the month, and was taken sick with smallpox the twelfth,
of which distemper he died, leaving a disconsolate widow and
three small children."
He was promoted to a Captaincy for his bravery in the dis-
astrous retreat from Brooklyn.
A special report from the U. S. War Department, dated
July 13, 1900, is as follows: "The records of this office show
that one Oliver Babcock served as 2nd Lieut, in the r)th Conn.
Reg., Revolutionary War."
His name is first borne on a return of officers in Gen. Spen-
cer's brigade about Sept. 20, 1775, without remarks, and it
last appears on a return with remarks showing that he was
appointed First Lieutenant Nov. 9, 1775, and that he was
taken prisoner at Fort Washington Nov. 16, 1776.
Daniel Babcock, youngest brother of Capt. Oliver and grand-
father of the writer, referring to the exchange of his brother
and other prisoners, dictated, Apr. 5, 1845. the following:
"The prisoners were taken from New York to New London in
a vessel. Soon after passing through Hellgate a man broken
out with smallpox was brought up from the hold of the vessel
and made to circulate among the prisoners, with the deliberate
intention of giving that disease to the homeward-bound pris-
oners and to their friends."
At a meeting in Connecticut of the Governor and Council
of Safety, Feb. i, 1777, Daniel Allen is appointed Captain of
a company in Col. Durkee's Regiment instead of Oliver Bab-
cock, deceased. (Hoadly. )

Deacon Daniel Babcock, grandfather of the writer, referring
to his brother Capt. William Avery Babcock, Apr. 5, 1845,
said, 'A\'illiam served in the Revolutionary Army, and was
engaged in the capture of Burgoyne." Joshua Bal)cock, a
nephew of Capt. William, said that he was Ensign in the Rev-
olutionary War and later a Captain of IMilitia.
In Apr., 1777, a party of eleven "Householders" apparently
from Columbia County, commanded by Capt. JMartin Beebe.
rode to Albany, "to do all in their power for the defense of
America in general and New York State in particular, fear-
ing lest timely assistance for the defense of the city and stores
should fail." They arrived on the 17th inst. Their bill, which
covered only their expenses, was sent to the committee asking
for £6 i8s. Among the eleven persons were "Sergt. Wm.
Babcock" and his wife's father, "Lieut. John Davis." (New
York in the Revolution, Supplement, p. 139.)
On p. 203 of the same book is a list of persons who received
Land Bounty Rights for services or willingness to serve in
defense of the frontiers of the State. The name of William
Babcock is found in this list.
Capt. \Mlliam Aver>^ Babcock was a farmer and owned
much land. He \\'as the boss carpenter at the building of the
Spencertown Presbyterian Church, which is still standing.

1900: "The records show that one Gersham Babcock, rank
not mentioned, served in Capt. Hezekiah Baldwin's Company,

Schaick, Revolutionary War. His name appears on a roll
dated at Fort George, Oct. 13, 1775, with remarks. Enlisted
July 30-17. On command."
From New York in the Revolution, p. 29, we find that the
service of Gersham Babcock above referred to was in the 2d
Regiment of the line; that is, the regiment was in the U. S.
service under Gen. Washington. From New York in the Rev-
olution, Supplement, p. 237, we find that Gersham Babcock
of the Albany Company Militia, 17th Regiment, had land
bounty rights. Deacon Daniel Babcock, 1)rother of Gersham,
said, Apr. 5, 1845, that Gersham was Sergeant in the Re\'olu-
tionary Army and was at the taking of Burgoyne. His nephew
Joshua, who was about forty years old when Gersham died,
said of him that he was Captain of a uniformed company and
was celebrated for his military tactics.
Gersham Babcock was a Free Mason, and joined in 1788 at
Canaan Corners, N. Y., Unity Lodge, No. 9, F. & A. M.

The following records are taken from Hollister's Histor)- of
Connecticut, vol. ii, p. 266: "At the age of eighteen years
Dr. Christopher Babcock was commissioned as a surgeon in
the army of the United Colonies, and immediately joined the
troops under Gen. Schuyler. During the severe sickness
among A\^ooster's troops at Danbury Gen. AVashington made
a requisition upon Schuyler for a surgeon to be sent to the aid
of the sufferers. Dr. Bal^cock was selected for this sendee,
and was recei\-ed by Wooster with great cordiality, w^ho soon
became his warm personal friend. The General placed the
young physician in charge of the hospital, where he remained
until the town was destroyed by the enemy. His residence was
in the family of Thaddeus Benedict, Esc[., a prominent lawyer
of the place, whose daughter he married.
"When Gen. \\''ooster followed the retreating British troops
from Dan1)ury to Ridgefield he was accompanied by Surgeon
1 12 The Bahcock Gcncaloi^y.
Bal)Cock, who was the only Continental snrgeon present and
who first informed the dying General his wound was mortal.
He assisted in conveying him to the house in which he died,
where he was joined by Dr. Turner and other physicians. In
the year following Dr. Babcock was placed in charge of the
hospital at Fort Arnold, West Point.
"During the autumn of 1780 he was sent to the army hos-
pitals at Newport and Tiverton, R. I., where the dysentery was
raging violently among the American and French troops.
"His labors and exposures were excessive, and he was seized
with the disease of the camp and died very suddenly, Nov. 2,
1780. His only child, William, was about six months old at the
death of his father. To him while yet a child a beautifully
\\'rought medal was given by sundiy citizens of Danbury ac-
companied liy a resolution expressive of respect for the charac-
ter, patriotism, and public service of his father."
The U. S. War Department, under date of July 13, 1900,
furnished the following records :
"Christopher Babcock served as S. M. in the Hospital Dept.
of Conn., Rev. War. His name appears on an account
dated at office of Army Account Feb. 7, 1789, with remarks.

father died when he was nine years of age and for the next
five years his home and that of his mother was with his eldest
Ijrother, Joshua, on the homestead farm. At fourteen he was
apprenticed to Elder Henry Clark, who was a blacksmith and
operated iron works at what is now Woodville, in Hopkin-
ton, R. 1. Wiien Fort Grisw^old, at Groton, Conn., was be-
sieged by the British the young man started with others to
assist the garrison, but on reaching Mystic, Conn., they learned
that the garrison had surrendered. "He and his comrades
'wept like children' at not being able to render assistance." (S.
S. Griswold's History of Hopkinton, p. 83, 1876.) From other
sources we learn that he drove an ox team from Hopkinton to
New London, a distance of twenty-five miles, with provisions
for the army and did other home guard duty along the Rhode
Island shore, but never asked for a pension. Serving out his
apprenticeship he began business as a blacksmith at Potter

of his life was spent. He was a man highly esteemed lx)th in
the church and community, a mem])er of the First S. D. B.
Church of Hopkinton, he served his church as deacon for
about fifty-eight years, and as chorister for almost fifty years.
He was a deacon in the truest sense, his home being ahvays
open to the poor and needy. Alive to w'hatever w^as helpful
to individual character, we find him one of the first pioneers
for total abstinence in Rhode Island. He was a devout Chris-
tian, and a true gentleman of the old school.
For forty-six years he was Justice of the Peace, for nine
years, 1807-16, he was a member of the Upper House of the
State, elected by general prox and carried with him the suf-
frage of all parties, retaining the ofiice by unanimous vote.
For ten years he w^as Judge of the County Court of Washing-
ton County, and several times represented his town in the
Lower House of the Legislature. Becoming widely known, he
was called near and far as arbiter and counselor in difficult
cases, in both Church and State. He was an intimate friend
and counselor of Governors Fenner, Knight, and others; was
a friend and relative of Rufus Babcock, D.D., and was loved
and honored by all. His brothers Capt. Oliver and Dr. Chris-
topher were distinguished officers in the Revolutionary War.
He died at Ashaway, R. I., Sept. 18, 1846.

Her father, Robert Gilmore, during the War of the Revolu-

of his convictions, and dearly it cost him. He was by the Gen-
eral Assembly of New Hampshire arrested, confined in jail,
his estate confiscated, and finally he was banished from the

estate to his brother-in-law, Stanton Campbell. About 1798
he remoxed from N. Stonington, Conn., to Sherburne, N. Y.
It is ^'ery probable that he removed from Sherburne to Ham-

then remo\ed to Alexandria, where several of his children were
living in 1832.

show that Thomas Babcock of Westerly and Sarah Wareman,

Charles Holden, Nov. 3, 1774. It is probable the above
Thomas Babcock was the son of Nathan. One son only is re-

cock was a Revolutionary pensioner in 1840.
It is believed that Paul Babcock was one of the fourteen
that capsized off Point Judith en route from Westerly to rein-
force Gen. Sullivan in 1777, and who by a merciful Providence
was saved. The report of the Committee to the Rhode Island
General Assembly includes the following (see C. R. of R. I.) :
"Articles belonging to Paul Babcock, one gun, one hat, one
shoe and brass buckle, all at 6 pounds 3 shillings."

John Prentice was a soldier in the War of the Revolution,
and lost his life at the battle of Fort Griswold, Conn. In a
work The Battle of Groton Heights, by Charles Allyn, New
London, Conn., 1882, is the following: 'Tn the old burying
ground at Burnett's Corners in Groton is found the following
epitaph of John P. Babcock : 'In memory of John P. Baljcock,
who together with a small party of Americans in Fort Gris-

wold withstood an assault made by a detachment of British
troops until being overcome by superior numbers. He was
massacred Sept. 6, 1781, age 30 yrs.' "
Mr. Allyn in his work gives a Hst of all who were left
widows by the battle, and on p. 135 is found the following:
"Anna Babcock, widow of John Prentice, clothier, was left
with two small children and small real estate, not much more
than enough to pay the debts."

Amy, dau. of Deacon Ezekiel and 34 Amy (Babcock) Gavitt,
b. Westerly, July 27, 1864, d. Dimock, Pa., Aug. 17, 1849.
Isaac Babcock removed from Westerly to Groton, Conn.,
where he bought a farm and built a large house, "a
mansion for those days," on the bank or near the Thames
River. This land and several adjoining farms have since been
purchased by the United States for a Navy Yard.
Revolutionary record of Isaac, Jr., given by one of his de-
scendants, states that he enlisted in Westerly in Capt. Pendle-
ton's Company of Col. Joseph Noyes's Regiment, and served
for two years. On the 5th of Sept., 1781, there came a rap
at his door and a shout, "The British are landing." He kissed
his wife, who was just then in labor with her first child, seized
his gun and started for his regiment. The wife fainted and
the child died.
Years after the death of her husband the widow of Isaac
Babcock sold her property in Groton, Conn., and with her
family removed* to Dimock, Pa., and settled on a farm. Her
son Isaac owned the adjoining farm. In 1836 she sold land to
Stanton Babcock in Westerly, R. I., that she had received by
will from her brother Ezekiel Gavitt.

About 1800 Luke Babcock bought and located on three hun-
dred acres of land at Norwich, N. Y., but later sold out and
settled at what he believed a more healthy location at Pharsa-
lia, N. Y., where he again bought three hundred acres of
land, upon which he spent the remainder of his days. Upon
his new location he built a house and barn, and later erected
a weaving shop (where his daughters manufactured all kinds
of cloth), a blacksmith shop, a cider mill, a turning lathe, and
a saw mill. He made friends with the Oneida Indians who
were his neighbors, and with his gun helped to rid the sur-
rounding country of wolves and bears.
He was an excellent Bible scholar and for many years was
Justice of the Peace, and as such his decisions were seldom re-
versed. He, like his father, was for many years a devout Bap-
tist, and used to preach and conduct funerals all over the coun-
try. Later, to use his own words, he "outgrew his Baptist
126 TJic Babcock Goicology.
faith and became a Uiiiversalist," to which hehef he adhered
throui^ii the remainder of his hfe.

William Smith Babcock's life till manhood was spent at his
father's home, Boston. Converted to Christianity from Deism
about a dozen years after graduation from Yale College, he
was ordained to the Christian ministr}^ at Springfield, Vt.,
Aug. 12, 1801. Scholarly, energetic, and deeply spiritual, he
devoted his life to a persistent and self-denying effort to se-
cure a union of all true Christians. With propriety claimed as
a founder of the Freewill Baptist denomination, fourteen vol-
umes of his journals still existing show that it was not his in-
tention to found a new denomination. He was far ahead of
his time.

TJic Babcock Genealogy. 139
Steplien Babcock was a man of clear judgment and strict
integrity, which gained for him the confidence of the commu-
nity in which he hved. When (hfferences arose between his
townspeople and a private settlement was desired he \vas often
chosen as arbiter. His quiet, gentlemanly manner, always in
evidence, showed best in his own household, where his cheerful-
ness and politeiiess radiated an atmosphere of refinement and
good fellowship.
He was studious as a boy and scholarly as a man, though
entirely self-educated. When young he taught district school
at $6 a month; at the same time he gave private instruction in
penmanship, bookkeeping, navigation, and surveying, and con-
tinued to give lessons in these branches until mature years were
upon him. He was an astronomer, and for his own satisfac-
tion was author of several almanacs. He was a farmer, and
at the time of his death resided upon his own farm on Walnut
Hill. Stonington, Conn. He belonged to no Church, but was
a constant reader of the Bible.

in that part of the colony. (See C. R. of R. I., vol. viii, p.
196.) Sept. 14, 1779, commanding the privateer Gen. Miffin,
he fell in with and captured the British store-ship Elephant ;
two days later, after an obstinate engagement, he captured, off
the Irish coast, the British privateer Tartar, having twenty-six
guns and one hundred and twenty men — thirty of her full com-
plement of men having been previously detached to man prizes
that were captured by the Tartar. (From History of Rhode

The description of Capt. George Waite Babcock, Com-
mander of the Gen. Miffin, found in Massachusetts Records of

Boston, Sept. 9, 1780, is as follows: "Capt. George Babcock,

dence Massachusetts." In the descriptive list of the same ship
is also found the following: "Samuel Babcock, Gunner, Age
19 years, Complexion light. Residence Massachusetts. The
above Samuel was a brother of Capt. George." In the same
book is found that, on petitions, the following commissions
were granted, by the Council, to Capt. George Waite Bab-
cock : June 11, 1781, Commander of the Privateer Venus ; May
27, 1782, Commander of the schooner Hero Privateer.

In the latter part of Apr., 1799, Ethan Babcock accompanied
by David Gates set out on foot from Leyden, Mass., and after
enduring many privations arrived at W. Winfield, where they
rested several days. Here they purchased a yoke of oxen, a
cow, and some provisions, with which on the 25th of May they
started for Brookfield. Their progress through the woods was
necessarily slow, and it was nearly night before they reached
their destination, the Beaver Creek Valley, where Oliver Bab-
cock, father of Ethan, had previously purchased the mill site
on the stream in the north part of Brookfield, together with
two lots w^iich now include the east half of the village, the
north and south road running through it for some distance
being the lot line. Not having time to erect a shelter, they
felled a basswood tree, split it open, and lay upon it until morn-
ing. They were the first to locate on the site of Brookfield,
and this was the first tree cut in its vicinity. The next day
they built a cabin and commenced clearing the land. Game be-
ing plentiful, they had no lack of food. They very soon began
the manufacture of potash, which they carried in tubs on the
back of oxen to Winfield. They continued clearing the land
and making potash during the summer, and in the fall Mr.
Babcock returned to Massachusetts and married Mai-y Fen.
The next spring, with his bride and a yoke of oxen, he re-
turned to Brookfield, completed the log house he had partly
built the year before, and there established his home.
He was the first hotel keeper in the village of Brookfield in
the opening years of the nineteenth century, and at the same
time conducted his well-chosen farm adjacent thereto with
marked success. (History of Madison County.)

Charles Babcock was a doctor who settled in New Hartford
about 18 1 2, where he devoted his life to his profession, gain-
ing the confidence and love of the entire community.
When in 18 14 the militia was called on for war duty Dr.
Babcock volunteered as surgeon and was detailed to go to
Sackett's Harbor, where he served faithfully for many months.
He with his sister and four brothers inaugurated an annual
family dinner called "The Babcock Party," which was con-
tinued long after all the originators had passed away. The
custom is still kept up, known as "The Cousins' Party."
He was active in Church and missionary work, beloved as
husband and father and left an imperishable memory in the
hearts of his friends. His wife, Nancy Pratt Babcock, sur-
vived her husband over forty years, dying at the age of nearly
ninety-eight. She was a descendant of John Alden, of the
Mayflower ; was affable, obliging, and affectionate, a fine con-
versationalist, and a woman possessed of unusual physical and
mental powers.

for four years to Coventry, R. I., to learn the machinist's
trade, but in 1812, while setting up machinery in Massachu-
setts, he was induced to go "out West" to Schenectady, N. Y.,
to establish a machine shop. Shortly thereafter the war broke
out, and Mr. Babcock enlisted in Col. I'hiletus Swift's Regi-
ment ''to go when called,"' but was never called into the field.
He remained in Schenectady eight years, making many friends,
among whom was Dr. Eliphalet Nott, President of Union Col-
lege. He constructed the first town clock in that city which
remained in use until i860. In 1820 he went to Cornwall,
N. Y., to start machinery which he had built, and remained
there to superintend the mill.
In 1825 he purchased a half interest in a carding mill at
Ashaway, R. I., and removed there, where he spent the rest
of his life as a manufacturer, miller, and country merchant.
He was one of the pioneers in total abstinence, and so zealous
was he in advocating teetotahsm that in derision his neighbors
called the place Temperance Hollov/.
Mr. Babcock with Miss Sally Knowles organized the first
Sabbath school in the town, although the pastor disapproved
the measure. He also was one of the first to enlist in the cause
of freedom to the blacks, becoming a pronounced Abolitionist
when that meant ostracism, and even danger to life and prop-
erty. But his zeal and influence gained friends for the cause,
and his house became the "depot for the underground rail-
road." Seven times he was nominated for Lieutenant-Governor
on the Abolition ticket, not anticipating election, but simply to
show his faith in his principles. One of the most beautiful
events in his life occurred when Mr. Lincoln's Emancipation
Proclamation on Jan. i, 1863, liberated four million of slaves.
After midnight of Dec. 31 his neighbors came in a body to
congratulate him on the great event which w^as so near to his
heart, calling him from his bed with drums and music. He
spoke to them eloquently and feelingly, saying among other
things, "^[y joy is that I have li\'ed to see this day, w^hich until
lately I never expected to see. I must leave the rest to you
younger men."

Educated in the schools of his native town, with their limita-
tions, he supplemented his schooling with good reading, of
which he was very fond all his life, and which served him, like
many another, in good stead for more liberal opportunities
in school. As a young man he taught singing school during
winter evenings, and was an excellent choir singer, having
acted as chorister in his church for about twenty-five years.
When only twelve years of age he was baptized and united
with the First S. D. B. Church of Hopkinton, with which he
remained a member during the rest of his life. He always
showed a dee]) interest in the schools of his neighborhood
and for many years acted as school trustee, hiring the teachers
and always making them welcome guests in his home at a time
when "boarding- around" was the method of taking care of
the teachers during the school terms.
He served his town as Justice of the Peace, Assessor of
Taxes, and in various other capacities. Bv his efforts the Pot-
ter Hill post office was established, and he was the first post-
master. He was always faithful to whatever trust was im-
posed upon him, honoring the position rather than being hon-
ored by it.
About 1824 he entered into partnership with his eldest

brother, Daniel, for the manufacture of edged tools at Potter
Hill, R. I., and the name of D. Babcock & Co. upon any tool
was always a sign of real excellence. The partnership con-
tinued about forty years, when the water power was sold to
the factory o^vners at Potter Hill.
In June, 1842, when the Dorr war occurred in Rhode Island
and the State government was threatened, Mr. Babcock, as
Sergeant, "shouldered his musket" and with his brother Daniel
and his own son Nathan, then a young man less than eighteen
years of age, went to Providence in the company of Capt.
William Potter, 3d Regiment, 3d Brigade of State Volunteers,
to light, if need be, for "law and order;" but no fighting oc-
curred. His youngest son, the author of this book, remembers
well the bright flintlock musket which his father brought home
from this campaign.
]\Ir. Babcock was eminently a social, genial man, fond of his
family and friends, devoted to his Church, a temperance re-
former among the first of his town, and an enthusiast in the
cause of antislavery, though not an adherent of the Aboli-
tion Party. He was an all-around broad-minded man. Pre-
vious to his marriage he settled at Potter Hill, R. I., where
the remainder of his life was spent. His wndow, who survived
him seventeen years, lived in the same house for sixty-two
years. "He was Justice of the Peace of Westerly in 1843,
'46, '47, '48." (Smith.)

where he owmed and cultix^ated a farm of two hundred and
sixty acres. He also owned and kept a tavern stand on the
main road between Boston and Albany, which he piuxhased,
it is said, of his brother Archibald. In 1836 the heirs sold the
homestead farm and tavern stand in Ware and all wxnt West,
going by the Ohio River to Cairo, 111., thence up the Missis-
sippi River to St. Louis, where the winter of 1836-7 was
spent. In the following spring they removed to Hampton

Archibald settled first in Ashford or Mansfield, Conn.,
thence removed to Ware, Mass., where he kept a tavern on the
main road from Boston to Albany. He later sold the tavern
to his brother Timothy and removed to Boston, and finally to
Charlestown. He owned much real estate on Bunker Hill and
vicinity. At his death he left to the city of Charlestown
$3,000, the income of which was to be used to furnish music
on the 4th of July and 17th of June; also $3,000 for same
piu'pose to town of Ashford. Conn., his native town, and also
$3,000 toward a public library in same place.
The remains of himself, of his two wives, and a number of
his children are interred in a burying grovmd near Bunker
Hill, Charlestown, where a granite monument of elaborate
design marks the place. His marriages, children, etc., can be
found in W'yman's Charlestown Genealogies and Estates.

the American privateer Prince de Neufchatel. Oct. 11, 1814,
his vessel had a bloody but victorious engagement with the
British frigate Enclymion. A thrilling account of this en-

181 5 Mr. Babcock was taken prisoner by the British and con-
fined in Dartmoor until the close of the \var.
He was a skillful blacksmith. He obtained the contract in
1843 for the iron doors and shutters for Bunker Hill Monu-
ment. He invented a machine for making horse shoes, and
patented the same Feb. 24, 1851.

Capt. David Babcock at an early age manifested a desire for
a seafaring life, and made his first voyage when sixteen years
of age. At the age of twenty-five he commanded a ship on a
voyage to Lima, Peru. He made many fast and famous voy-
ages, and cruised all over the world, engaging more especially
in China and European trade. He commanded for se\'eral
years the famous clipper ship Young America, in which he
sailed three times around the world, his wife accompanving
him. At the breaking out of the Civil War he was offered a
position on the staff of Brig.-Gen. Silas Casey, and also the
2i8 The Bahcock Genealogy.
Lieutenant-Colonelcy of the Naval Brigade forming in New
York, but he declined both offers, believing he could be of more
service to his country in his original profession than in a new
and untried one. He entered the service at the first of the
war and continued to the end, commanding a number of dif-
ferent ships, including the Illinois, which was fitted up with an
iron prow and sent to Hampton Roads to watch for the ex-
pected Merrimac, which ncA^er came out but once and then re-
turned to Norfolk and was blown up by her friends. At one
time he received a letter of thanks from Admiral Dupont for
his exhibition of skill and seamanship.
In 1879 he held the office of President of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company. At the time of his death he was Presi-
dent of the Stonington and Providence line of steamers, and
Vice President and General Manager of the New York, Provi-
dence, and Boston R. R.

The Bobcock Genealogy. 301
Mr. Babcock was in the widest sense a self-made man.
With but few opportunities for an education except such as
were found in the pubhc schools qf his boyhood, he ranked
among the educated men of the country. He was President
of the School Board of his own city, was President of the
Board of Trustees of Alfred University, was one of the regu-
lar lecturers of Cornell University, and was for a time Presi-
dent of the large and influential organization known as the
"American Society of Mechanical Engineers."
He was a thorough representative of the best type of suc-
cessful business men. From a boy he showed remarkable
mechanical ability, and his inventive genius resulted in giving
to the world about one hundred patents. At the time of his
death he was President of the "Babcock & Wilcox Company,"
organized with a caj^ital of $1,000,000 for the manufacture
of "Patent Water-tube Steam Boilers," and the company is
still doing an extensive business both in Europe and America.
He not only gave strict attention to the many lines of his
own business affairs, but also found time to take a leading
part in the various public interests of the day, especially in
the line of education and the general uplifting of his fellow-
men. After achieving financial success he was a generous
patron of deserving charities, and by his will he left about
$200,000 for public benefactions, including $70,000 for Al-
fred University and $50,000 for Milton College. He was by
faith and practice a Seventh Day Baptist.

James F. Babcock founded and edited for many years the
New Haven Daily Palladium, at that time the leading news-
paper of Connecticut. He retired from the editorship and
ownership of that paper in 1865. Having studied law
some years previous, he entered the legal profession, where he
highly distinguished himself. He became the Judge of the
County Court, and held that position until his death. While
trying a vexatious and complicated case of arson he was
stricken with paralysis and fell from his chair in the presence
of the court, and without a moment's notice passed "to that
undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns."
On this very spot his father, the Colonel, breathed his last,
when carried by the soldiers into the courthouse, fifty-eight
years before, though not in the same building, as a new one
had been erected.

When eighteen years of age Mr. Babcock entered the em-
ploy of the Lan(l])here IMachine Com])any, at Phenix, R. L,
where as apprentice, journeyman, and subcontractor he con-
tinued for thirteen years. In 1855 he entered into partnership
with Calvert B. Cottrell, under the firm name of Cottrell &
Babcock, at Pawcatuck, Conn., where at first they built textile
machinery and later printing presses. In 1880, when the busi-
ness was employing two himdred men, he sold out to his part-
ner and retired. Two years later he organized the Babcock
Printing Press Manufacturing Company, at New London,
Conn., which under his management came to be one of the
most prominent manufactories of printing machinery in Amer-
ica. The business is still continued (1903) with his nephew.

in his early manhood he was a Whig, becoming a Repub-
lican at the organization of that party, but later as a Prohibi-
tionist he exercised a powerful inilucnce in the cause of tem-
perance, which was very dear to his heart, and for which he
never considered any sacrifice too great. He was honored by
beinir made candidate for Lieutenant Governor of his State
upon the Prohibition ticket for a number of years. Was a
member of the State Committee of that party, and in his own
town did valiant service in the cause of no license.
Actixe in local school matters, he was largely instrumental
in raising the standard of the schools in his district, and in
the building of large and commodious schoolhouses. Every
Christmas for years he regularly sent a gift to every scholar
in the school, and each member of every graduating class
received some appropriate gift from his hand.
For vears he taught a class of boys in a Loyal Temperance
Legion, and in this connection organized an anti-tobacco
league which met regularly at his home; and the scientific
teaching gi^'en them resulted in keeping many young men from
using tobacco. Believing in the equality of the sexes, he never
lost an opportunity to record himself upon the side of wom-
an's sufifrage and when school suffrage was given to the
women of his town his horses were busy on election days car-
rying women voters to and from the polls.
At the as^e of seventeen he united with the First S. D. B.
Church of Hopkinton. R. L. retaining his membership with
and continuing his support of this church through life.

She was educated at the Hopkinton Academy, a school char-
tered by members of the First Hopkinton S. D. B. Church
and conducted under their patronai^e for many years. In 1862
she taut^ht the English branches and music at Passaic, N. J.
In 1864. she was married to Henry S. Ambler, of New
York City, and went to Pleasants County, \V. Va. Later they
lixed in New York City, and in 1873 removed to their present
residence in Chatham. They have four sons and one daughter.
She is a life member of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of New York State, a member of the New York State
Woman's Suffrage Association, and of the New York State
Grange. In 1892 she organized the Woman's Christian Tem-
perance Union of Spencertown, N. Y., and has served as its
President to the present time (1903). Later, wilh others, she
organized the Woman's Christian Temperance L^nion at Aus-
terlitz, N. Y., and together with these two Societies she is
acknowledge a strong factor in making and maintaining a
public sentiment which has prevented the licensed sale of liquor
in the town of Austerlitz for twelve successive years.
She is a charter member of Austerlitz Patrons of Hus-
bandry (819), and for three years served this Society as lec-
turer ; for three years was President of the Columbia County
Woman's Christian Temperance Union, but resigned both
these offices on account of poor health.
In 1855 she joined the First S. D. B. Church of Hopkin-

Senator Henry S. Ambler (husband of Julia M. [Babcock]
Ambler) descended from ancestors on his father's side who
came from England about 1625. while those on his mother's
side came from Prussia. Leaving their mother country on
account of religious persecution and taking onlv what thev
could carry in their hands, they fled by night to Holland, and
from thence sailed to New Amsterdam (afterward New
York), among the early Dutch settlers of that place.
Mr. Ambler was educated at tlie Mount \\^Tshington Col-
lesfiate Institute and the Citv Institute of New York, and grad-
uating from the latter in 18^3 he immediatelv accepterl a posi-
tion as bookkeeper at the Morgan Iron Works.
In 1856, on account of impaired health, he left the city for
35- ^ //(' Babcock Genealogy.
his father's farm in the town of Austerhtz, Ct)hinibia County,
N. v., where he remained until 1861, engaging in agricuUural
pursuits.
in Dec., 1 86 1, Mr. Ambler became agent and steward for
the New York Institution for the Blind, New York City, and
filled this position until Sept., 1864, when he married and went
to Pleasants County, W. Va. Returning to New York City
in 1866, he opened a mercantile business in the line of dairy
produce. In 1873 he purchased his father's farm and engaged
somewhat in stock raising until 1888, when he retired from
mercantile business, wishing to devote his entire attention to
farming".
Politically he is a Republican, and as such represented his
town in the Columbia County Board of Supervisors for ten
years. In 1896 he was appointed Assistant Commissioner of
Agriculture, and took charge of the third division of the State
of New York, retaining this position until 1898, when he re-
signed to take his seat in the State Senate, to which he had
been elected from the Twenty-fourth District. He was re-
elected in 1900, and received 20,367 votes to 14,296 cast for
his Democratic opponent. Again re-elected in 1902, he still
(1903) represents his district.
Since entering the Senate he has served continuously as
Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, and is the leading
representative in the Legislature of the farmers' organizations.
His zealous and constant efforts to further their interests have
given him ])rominence throughout the entire State. He has
been a relentless opponent of the present proposed plan of en-
larging the Erie Canal, because he has believed the project
would be detrimental to the interests of the farmers of the
State, and his position has been strenuously supported by the
New York State Grange, which is a powerful nonpartisan or-
ganization comprising 62,000 members, among whom he is
highly popular by reason of his devoted and efficient service
in their behalf. He is also author of, and has had enacted into
law, many bills which greatly benefit dairymen and farmers.
Mr. Ambler believes in w^oman's suffrage, and is ever ready
to present bills for the Equal Suffrage Association, and w^orks
persistently for their passage regardless of strong opposition.
He is actively identified with other agricultural societies of
the State, as well as with the Grange. He is Vice President
of the State Fair Association, Vice President of the State
Farmers' League, Vice President of the State Farmers' Con-
gress, and has been successively appointed by Governors Mor-

As is shown in the Preface of this volume. Col. Babcock
has rendered great assistance to the author in the preparation
362 The Bahcock Genealogy.
of this work. In Aug-., 1901, he loaned to tlie writer two hun-
dred and fifty-two lei^al cap pages of manuscrij)t, written Ijy
himself. He gathered and compiled nearly all the records of
his great-grandfather, Timothy Babcock, and for the past four
years has sent to the author frequent and voluminous commu-
nications containing the results of his genealogical researches.
When nineteen years of age he joined the Lowell Mechanic
Phalanx, 5th Regiment, Massachusetts Militia. He was three
years a member, and was a well-drilled soldier. Later Gen,
Benjamin F. Butler was Major and afterward Lieutenant-Col-
onel of the same regiment. In 1856 he moved to Springfield,
111. Two years later he joined as a private the military com-
pany then organized, called the Si:)ringfield Grays. Lie rose
in rank from step to step, until in 1861 he was First Lieutenant
of the company. At the breaking out of the w^ar he enlisted,
Apr. 16, 1 86 1, under the first call for three-months' men, and
was mustered into service Apr. 25, 1861, as Captain of Com-
pany I, 7th Illinois Infantry, by Capt. John Pope, wdio was
later Gen. Pope. The Seventh was the first Illinois regiment
mustered into service, but was called the 7th to keep intact
the six regiments that Illinois furnished in the Mexican War.
At the expiration of the term of enlistment he with his com-
pany was mustered out of service near Cairo, 111., and the
same day, July 25, 1861, he was remustered into service for
three years as Lieutenant-Colonel of the Seventh Illinois In-
fantry. Although he ranked as Lieutenant-Colonel, he com-
manded his regiment almost from the start, and was in com-
mand during the three days' battle at Fort Donelson, Feb. 13-
15, 1862, and on the 25th of Mar., 1862, for gallant and mer-
itorious service rendered at Fort Donelson, was commissioned
Colonel of the regiment.
When the war broke out Col. Babcock, his wife, and two
children lived in Springfield, where he w^as in business. He
hired a man to conduct his business, and left for the war.
After nearlv two years of service, sickness in his familv and
business afl^airs demanded his immediate attention at home.
He then offered his resignation from the army, which was re-
turned indorsed, "Owing to the exigencies of the service the
resignation of Col. Babcock cannot be accepted. U. S. Grant,
Maj.-Genl." His resignation was repeated from time to time,
and was finallv accented in Mar., 1863. The following resolu-
tions dated Mar. 18, 1863, were unanimously adopted by the
ofificers and men of his regiment, and were published in the
newspapers of that period :

FROM his Companions in Arms.
"Corinth, Miss., March 18, 1863.
"At a meeting of the officers and men of the 7th Reg-inient
of IlHnois Infantry Vokmteers, held on the 17th inst., were
unanimously adopted the following preamble anrl resolutions :
"JVIicrras, Col. Andrew J. Babcock has resigned his commission as Col-
onel of the 7th regiment of Illinois Infantry Volunteers, and we the officers
and men of the 7th, having been long under his command, both appreciate
his worth and deeply regret his separation from us ; be it
"Resolved, That in Col. A. J. Babcock the State of Illinois and the army
of the United States have lost a brave, competent, and meritorious officer.
"Resok'cd, That we, who have for nearly two years been associated
with him in his duties in the garrison and in the field, through many
toilsome marches, and in the hard-fought battles of Donelson and Corinth,
bear witness that he has proved himself a most daring, discreet, and
loyal leader; and that in the execution of his office, as well as his per-
sonal bearing, he has won not only the confidence and respect, but also
the esteem and affection, of all imder his command.
"Resolved, That Col. Babcock, from the first organization of the first
regiment of Illinois, from the opening of the war to the present date,
has proved himself before us, as a commander, most efficient ; as a man
and a brother in arms, at once just, genial, and generous. We sincerely
hope and trust that his affairs may again permit the government to avail
itself of his invaluable services in the field ; and should such be the case,
it will be our highest happiness to be again associated with him in the
service of our common country.
"Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Col. Babcock,
and to the Springfield Journal. Chicago Tribune, and St. Louis Democrat.

889. Sarah Otis^ Babcock, dan. of Robert Gihnore and
Lucy (Blackmail) Babcock (John, Timothy, James,
James, John, James), b. Apr. 22, 1834, in a house which for-
merly stood near the entrance of the old cemetery upon the
south corner, in Milton, Mass.
In the spring of 1837 her parents with their family removed
to Ouincy, Mass., living in the black post house on Common
Street, called so from the cedar posts painted black which sup-
ported the front veranda. She first attended a little private
school kept by a Miss Nightengale, and later the public school.
About the year 1845 the family removed to S. Boston, and
Sarah attended the Hawes School, from which she graduated
at the age of thirteen.
At seventeen years of age she began to teach in the public
schools of Roxbury, Mass., a work which with slight inter-
mission was continued for a period of forty years. About
this time she went to James Freeman Clarke's Church, and
here probably was laid the foundation for a long life of men-
tal activity of a rare quality. The year following her work
and life in Roxbury she became a member of the Parker Fra-
ternity. She here received impressions which stimulated her
character in the direction of the most advanced thought and
action, adding to the natiu'al intensity of her character mate-
rial which gave color to her whole future.
About this time the rigors of the New England climate left
their mark upon her, and a change was necessary. She went
alone to what seemed then the great West. Chicago, to build
new fortunes, taking with her the inheritance of New Eng-
land history and thought, detestation of slavery, and a strong
love of home. She secured a position as teacher in the North
Rolling Mill District, and at the close of her long work in
SARAH OTIS BABCOCK.

Chicago we find her enrolled as Principal of the North Wells
Street primary schools. The exact records of her work were
lost in the great Chicago fire. We know she labored conscien-
tiously, looking after the children under her care in all ways,
encouraging and strengthening younger women who taught
under her. We know that, although she was a stern disci-
plinarian, this seemed only to make stronger the bonds between
teacher and pupil. She usually passed her vacation with a
sister in Milwaukee or with her sister, Mrs. Fobes, in the more
than a century-old red house near Harvard Street bridge, Dor-
chester, Mass., which sheltered three generations of this fam-
ily. She was elected Principal of the Atlantic schools,
Ouincy, Mass.. where, commencing about 1887, she taught
four years.
She had an intense love of music, and possessed a rare
speaking voice, a voice clear, vibrating, and sweet. As we
write the air seems again to echo this dear voice. She traveled
extensively in her own country ; visited Florida, passed a
spring in Virginia, a winter in California, and a year in Eu-
rope. She was a deep student, especially of biology, German,
botany, philosophy, and German metaphysics. She was never
married, yet her love of children was almost her strongest
hold. Her friends, her contemporaries were loyal to her, as
she was ever loyal to them and theirs. In person Miss Bab-
cock was very erect, tall, with a graceful form, carrying after
mature age a good weight. She had fine, beautiful hair, a
medium shade of brown which was not touched bv asfe. Her
character was unselfish, noble, and consistent. Her faith in
the goodness of the Creator and in his designs never faltered.
On the 7th day of December, 190T, while at her home in
Boston, she started to enter an adjoining room, but by acci-
dent opened the door leading to the basement stairs and fell
to the floor below, receiving injuries from which she passed
in an instant of time from the enjoyment and fullness of life
to the merciful unconsciousness which preceded death. Her
strong, brave heart did its work six days and nights, during
which time her youngest brother and his faithful wife, and a
gentle nurse, aided by the kind people with whom she was
staying, ministered to her. Old and long-tried friends and
young friends came and stood by the side of that stricken
form, and held the dear, delicate hands, and the manner of
going out was merciful to her. She died Dec. 13, igor. at
c; p. M.. and on the afternoon of the followinsf IMondav the
few nearest of kin and friendship gathered to hear prayers

before her form so appropriately ami beautifully lying siir-
rouiuletl ])y flowers.
She was taken to the little Norfolk Unitarian Chapel, where
friends had been bidden to gather to pay the last tribute of
affection and respect to her. There was no suggestion of
gloom, but the rays of a bright sun streamed through the
stained-glass wind(^ws. Flowers rare and lovely seemed to
recognize her love for them and awaited her there. The offi-
ciating minister read beautiful sentences of comfort. His
voice was a rare one, and its tones vibrate now. It seemed
symbolic that a rare voice should speak for her whose tones
were an especial charm in her. Rev. Charles G. Ames offered
prayer, and said, "We call this death in life, but it is life in
death," and gaxe as a charge the lesson that death should
teach us kindness to the living. The Ruggles Street quartette
gave sweet vocal melody, and the selections, "Still, still with
Me," "Lead, kindly Light," "Nearer, my God, to thee," and
"I shall see Him face to face."
The winter air was sharp, but we went on to the Hall Cem-
etery, West Ouincy, Mass., where by a written request it was
found her wish to be buried. LTpon the picturesque hills of
her early home, by the side of the grave of her beloved grand-
mother, the last rites ended, and the beyond, for which her
good life had fitted her, was a part of her, and a memory that
will never fade is ours.
The foregoing was taken from a biography of Miss Sarah
Babcock prepared by Mrs. Annie E. Faxon, Ouincy, Mass.

and for seventeen consecutive years superintendent of the Sab-

elected as a member of the House of Representatives of Ne-
